Different Ball Game: Damian Callinan on Sport, Community and 'The Merger'

DESCRIPTION

After years of being brought to life as part of Damian Callinan's live stage show, the fictional town of Bodgy Creek has hit the big screen in Mark Grentell's The Merger. I speak to Callinan about the text's transition from stage to screen, Australia's rural landscape, and how footy and grief might just be the country's two greatest unifiers.
