Summary

This is a rollicking play about one of the founding and/or foundling fathers of Western Australia, Thomas Peel, first cousin of the then British Prime Minister. He was the leader of the first organized group of settlers, but from the moment he arrived on western shores, he became utterly unable to marshal himself to provide the leadership and employment to his hundreds of artisans, labourers and families. For thirty-six years, old Peel stood a lonely, haughty and solitary figure blinded to his failings
