The Bush is a 'frequently show stopping' (Wee Review) solo theatre show by 'born storyteller' (West Australian) Alice Mary Cooper, that recalls the inspiring true story of thirteen, 1970’s ‘housewives’ who battled for 10 years to save bushland in Alice's native Sydney. This kickstarted a nationwide movement of Green Bans, protecting land and the natural environment from destruction in Australia. The Bush is a comedic, 'highly accessible' (The List) show centring community action and joyfully celebrating a pivotal moment in the history of global environmental and feminist movements. Part of Made in Scotland Showcase 2022.
