A short scene from the creative development of 'Water Wars'.

Water Wars is a timely and darkly funny exploration of what happens between neighbours as the drought gets longer and tougher and then gets renamed as a ‘dry’.

The first stage of the Regional Arts Fund funded creative development took place at the University of Queensland and the Empire Theatre in Toowoomba over the weekend of 11 - 12 September 2010.
