Cover Title Author
Black Medea
Wesley Enoch, Euripides

A richly poetic adaptation of Euripides' Medea that blends the cultures of Ancient Greek and Indigenous storytelling to weave a bold and breathtaking commentary on contemporary experience.

Windmill Baby
David Milroy

Set on an abandoned cattle station in the Kimberley landscape, this one-woman play combines the poetry of a campfire story with the comedy of a great yarn.

The First Garden
Chris Raja, Natasha Raja

The First Garden touches on key narratives in modern Australian identity, seamlessly incorporating Aboriginal rights, environmentalism, the Gallipoli legend and feminism into its gentle rhythmic tone. This reflects a maturation of our society, where we are prepared not only to acknowledge but also to reconcile.

Namatjira and Ngapartji Ngapartji go right to the heart of the intersection between Indigenous and non-Indigenous experience. These stories of family, friendship, land, myth, life and death are contextualised within the social and political framework of their times. They resonate universally, yet at the same time capture unique moments in Australian history and experience.

War Crimes
Angela Betzien

War Crimes is a gripping story of six teenage girls who are fighting to earn respect and leave their mark by whatever means possible. 

The Man from Mukinupin
Dorothy Hewett

The Man of Mukinupin celebrates life in a country town at the time of the Great War, conjuring its light and dark sides into an old fertility dance.

Waltzing the Wilarra
David Milroy

Charlie, Elsa and Fay take you on a musical journey, reflecting upon loves lost and found, old arguments and resurfacing alliances. Dark secrets and ghosts that have lingered for more than half a century are revealed, and we discover that reconciliation is more than saying sorry.

In the 1870s a girl is born under a tree—her birth tree—chosen to give her strength and wisdom. When the tree is cut down she follows it into the white man's world, working as a cook for the big house on the island. Her tree has become a kitchen table. Now, generations later, a young man and his mother fight for ownership of the table.

Stolen
Jane Harrison

Stolen 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.

Three lost children discover an abandoned orphanage in the bush and become trapped in a timeless world, haunted by spirits of the past and tormented by the ominous Black Skirt, a cruel governess harbouring a mysterious past.
