Based on the testimony of dozens of old-girls from the Parramatta Girls Training School, this vibrant play is a joyous and harrowing dramatisation of the experiences of eight inmates and their reunion, 40 years later. Interspersed with song and storytelling, this is a tribute to mischief and humour in the face of hardship and inequality.
