Slacky Flat is arguably local writer Wendy Richardson’s best masterpiece. Filled with Wendy’s hallmark writing style of honesty and humanity, Slacky Flat is funny, witty and very musical.

First performed by Theatre South in 1989, Slacky Flat is a story of community and people during The Great Depression. The action of the play takes place in 1930 on Slacky Flat in Bulli where a temporary campsite sprang up to house the unemployed and families who could no longer afford to pay rent. The desperation of their lives, in particular the women of one family, tests their bonds of love and builds what became a memorable moment in Illawarra history as community bonded together to help those in need.

Slacky Flat is a sadly relevant play in our world of mass unemployment and uncaring governments and agencies set up to help those in need but who end up making their lives harder.
