Dead Heart, The

Synopsis:
Edward John Eyre, celebrated in Australia as our greatest inland explorer, damned in Jamaica as a mass murderer. Bringing together these two sides of a man - protector of Australian Aboriginal people, killer of Jamaicans - to a single focus, the play explores the pressures that might cause such kindness and cruelty, heroism and panic, to be contained in one human being.
