The Yellow Wave

15 Minutes from Anywhere presents an invasion story like no other in their thrillingly subversive adaptation of Kenneth Mackay's 19th century novel, The Yellow Wave, the second production on as part of Melbourne's brand new Poppy Seed Festival.

Subtitled, 'A Romance of the Asiatic Invasion of Australia", The Yellow Wave was published in 1895 and tells an epic story of love, heroism and sacrifice as Australia is invaded by a Russian-led -Mongol' horde.

At its beating heart is a doomed love triangle between two remarkable men and one extraordinary woman. The story unfolds as our beloved wide brown land is overrun in this exciting but prescient tale of war, romance and boat arrivals, a scenario that taps into some current-day political beliefs.
