The first of its kind, this timely anthology brings together six contemporary Australian plays that offer a range of narratives and perspectives on asylum seekers. A vexed issue within the Australian community—particularly among politicians, who often use asylum seekers to further their own ends—this collection contributes to Australia's ongoing discourse on unauthorised asylum seekers, immigration detention, border control and the right to belong.

Three verbatim plays by Version 1.0 dealing with the ‘children overboard’ Senate inquiry; the pretext for Australia’s involvement in the Iraq war; and the Wheat for Weapons scandal.
