LibriVox recording of The Wasters by Arthur Adams. Read in English by ToddHW; Sonia; Leanne Yau; Tomas Peter; Aaron White; Josh Kibbey; Campbell Schelp; Son of the Exiles; Ulrike Denis; Devorah Allen; TJ Burns; Foon; Pauline Latournerie; Betsy Walker Here we have a serious family drama by Australian playwright Arthur Adams about legacy and responsibilities, with some question about exactly who exactly the Wasters in society are. "No; you produce nothing, you spend everything; you do nothing, you waste everything. You're parasites, useless parasites.... Parasites, inefficients, wasters, wasters!" "We may be parasites, but you have made us parasites. We may be wasters, but you prey on us." To highlight the growing tensions, it includes comic second act scenes placed in the women's undergarment department of the family store. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: John Dangar: Josh Kibbey Baby Dangar: Leanne Yau Guy Dangar: Campbell Schelp Butler: ToddHW Anthony Clibborn: Aaron White Lindsay Thong: Tomas Peter Tossie Quork: Devorah Allen J.
