Synopsis{{Quote|The Children’s Bach is a contemporary story set on the banks of Merri Creek in inner-suburban Melbourne. Dexter and Athena live in a ramshackle house with no TV and an outside loo. But they are comfortably happy although life with their disabled son, Billy, has taken its toll. Against this family crashes another; Phillip, Elizabeth and Vicki: urbane, musical and stylish. And like most crashes there’s collateral damage.|from the program notes[1]}}References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/whatson/malthouse.html |title=What's On |accessdate=21 June 2008 |year=2008 |publisher=Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080526021428/http://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/whatson/malthouse.html |archivedate=May 26, 2008 }} External links
