Is That You, Ruthie?: The play

About this book

A powerful play about family, resilience, and the Stolen Generations.

In 1930s Queensland, Ruby and her baby Ruth arrive at Cherbourg Aboriginal Mission, entering a life controlled by 'The Act'. This play explores their journey through institutionalization, cultural loss, and the enduring strength of their bond.

Based on the award-winning memoir, Leah Purcell's adaptation captures the humor and courage of Ruth Hegarty's story. Is That You, Ruthie? delves into the complex aftermath of government removal policies, revealing a rich tapestry of truth-telling and the resilience of Indigenous women. Perfect for readers interested in Australian Indigenous history, social justice, and poignant family dramas.
