January, 1788. A strange sight greets those gathered on the shore of Gadigal land. Ships of a type and size never seen before. Where are they from? Who and what do they carry? Should they be welcomed– or should they be wary? Playwright and Muruwari descendant Jane Harrison turns her attention to that pivotal moment when the First Fleet dropped anchor. Seven senior law men meet to decide how to respond. Their decision must be unanimous and will have far-reaching implications for all. The Visitors is a powerful, imaginative response to the beginnings of modern Australia.
