| Description |
A trilogy of short plays that explored the relationship between Europeans and the First Nations people of Van Dieman's Land. The three plays were "Ashes", "The Eye Witness" and "The Black Man's House". The press release stated that
"...the plays present the experience of white invaders confronted by a culture vastly and shockingly different from their own: and the plays seek some understanding of what happens to us, now, when we are confronted by the Aboriginal presence in Australia in the 1980s." |
