Starring great Australian talent — including Gold Logie winner John Wood (Blue Heelers), Andrew S Gilbert (Kiss or Kill), Felix Williamson (The Great Gatsby), comedian Damian Callinan (Spicks and Specks), and cinematographer Damian Wyvill (The Great Gatsby Goddess) — Backyard Ashes illustrates the tale of Dougie Waters and his vehement love for a snag on the barbie and some cricket with his mates. However, Dougie’s paradise is quickly destroyed when his pompous English boss, Edward Lords, moves in next door.
Full of hilarious anecdotes, Backyard Ashes will place a literal meaning to Louis Nowra’s famous retort in Così (1992): “Go burn a cat!”
