The poetry and hope of common aspirations in the lives of those who seem to have 'missed the bus' is poignantly expressed in Patrick White's new play. Two 'super deros' servants of the rainbow serpent in the sky, watch over the restless progress of Theo and Ivy Vokes from youth to age. As their small corner of Australia declines from a quiet green to a city expressway the two Beings praise the bus route of life, making homely fun of their wards' romantic aspirations and material needs - and the way that neither have found the courage to 'signal driver'.
