A play, based on an apparently true story, about the discovery in 1939 of a lost community founded by convicts in Tasmania. The community had been established to create a good life for its original inhabitants. It has degenerated over time due, among other things, to interbreeding, but there is still a system of mutual support. The speech of the descendants of the convicts is based on 1840s lower class language and slang and a glossary is provided.\
