Performance review: BullyBully, Sydney Opera House

An imaginative fun performance for the young and young at heart.

Three people sit on a couch, a mousy woman in her 30/40s dressed in brown, an older woman in a turquoise housecoat and turban and a man in his 30/40s dressed in brown and facing off with the older woman. A coffee table is in front of them. Mother Play.
