The original production was held at Jane Street Theatre in Randwick, Sydney, and featured Robyn Nevin and Kate Fitzpatrick, and was directed by John Bell. It was heavily revised throughout rehearsals.
It was a big success, commercially and critically, and toured Australia. It has since been much revived. According to Ellis, the play was responsible for helping revive Australian theatre.
