Description
This play tells of five young aboriginal children forcibly removed from their parents, brought up in a repressive children's home and trained for domestic service and other menial jobs. Segregated from society from their earliest years, not all of them successfully manage their lives when released into the outside world. The pain, the poignancy and sheer desperation of their lives is seen through the children's own eyes as they struggle to make sense of a world where they have been told to forget their families, forget their homes and forget their language. This tender and moving story awash with the humour of innocents, goes further than any previous account to bring the tragic human story of the Stolen Generations to the stage. (1 act, 2 men, 3 women).
