What Do They Call Me?
Eva Johnson

Three monologues from one of the most respected Indigenous voices, that each present a different view of how changes in the law from the 1940s to 1970 affected Aboriginal people. 

Dogged
Andrea James, Catherine Ryan

A farmer's daughter howls into the night, run ragged by hunger and grief. Over the course of one long night, the Woman and a Dingo forge an alliance to claw closer to the things they ache for… but it's a dangerous deal to make.

The Visitors
Jane Harrison

On a sweltering day, 26 January, 1788, on a bluff high above Sydney Cove, seven Aboriginal men stand looking out to sea. Moored off-shore is a huge nowee (boat) … then there are two, then more. Who are these visitors? Where are they from? What do they want? Should they be turned away—by force—or welcomed to country?

Sunshine Super Girl
Andrea James

A grimy old ball, a racquet made from a wooden fruit box, a pair of borrowed shoes … then the world at her feet. This is the heart-warming story of how Evonne Goolagong Cawley—our Evonne—rose from humble beginnings in an outback farming town to become a world-champion tennis player by the age of just 19.

Sorting Out Rachel
David Williamson

In Sorting Out Rachel, David Williamson steps onto fertile ground with a social comedy about legacy, greed, entitlement and making good on past relationships.

Winyanboga Yurringa
Andrea James

Six Indigenous women gather on country for what seems like a fun camping trip by the river, a chance to get away from the daily grind, a time to natter and laugh. These strikingly different contemporary Aboriginal women joke and bicker, rile each other one minute and comfort each other the next. And when the peace of the campsite is upended, they band together to make it right. 

Barbara and the Camp Dogs
Ursula Yovich, Alana Valentine

Through music that ranges from punk-inspired explosions of rage, to tender rock and soul ballads full of yearning, Barbara and the Camp Dogs is a gob-spit of fun, frenzy and family that finds beauty in honesty and hope in confronting the past.

The Drover’s Wife
Leah Purcell

A taut thriller of our pioneering past, The Drover's Wife is full of fury, power and has a black sting to the tail, reaching from our nation's infancy into our complicated present.

Walking into the Bigness
Richard Frankland

A theatrical collection of stories and songs from Richard Frankland’s extraordinary life as a child abattoir-worker, a young soldier, a fisherman and a field officer for the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.

Darwin, 1942: Darwin is hit with more bombs than Pearl Harbour. Mr Takahashi turns the lens upon Darwin’s multicultural and Indigenous women whose lives were forever changed by the bombings of February 19.
