Doug Moody's spectacular musical play Sludge pays homage to the majestic Rock and Roll era with "boppy" dance numbers, beautiful chord progressions and catchy songs. We meet a family of poor but honest gypsy women who run a car wrecking yard. The family are forced to endure an idle workforce and light fingered wrecking yard Scabs. Things turn decidedly ugly when a bright young student from Sydney Girls High School unearths a plan by a dastardly wheelchair bound tyrant who intends to bulldoze the wrecking yard and construct a casino. As the gypsy family battle to save their beloved wrecking yard long hidden secrets from the past are revealed. Prejudice is rife and we can only hope that things will turn out for the best. Doug Moody's finely crafted script takes a nostalgic look back to the 1960s and early 1970s. This fast paced show is ideal for any high schools or drama colleges looking to stage a major showcase for their students.
