Über dieses Buch

Gerry is almost 60, and he is going to meet his mother for the first time since he was three. His daughter Sally has had it up to here with him and his problems. The old lady lives somewhere in the UK. So Gerry is going there to find out what made him who he is. Holloway tells the story of the 3, 000+ British children who, between 1945 and 1968, were told they were orphans and sent to Australia on a promise of warmth, fresh air, abundant food and boundless opportunity. Instead they arrived to deprived institutions where neglect and abuse were the norm.

ACT ONE

SCENE ONE

We see GERRY and MARY. They’re in the middle of a very small flat.
They look at each other for a long time, before

MARY: So

GERRY:
MARY: So you’re Gerry?
GERRY:
MARY: Is that
GERRY: Yeah.
MARY:
GERRY: Yeah, that’s right.
MARY:
GERRY: And you’re

MARY: Sorry?
GERRY: You’re Mary?
MARY: Oh. Yes. Yes I am. I’m

GERRY:
MARY: Look at you!
GERRY: What?
MARY: Sorry, but
 You’re as big as a grizzly bear! As big as a great big
GERRY: Don’t.
MARY: And as hairy as one too! I mean as hairy as
GERRY: So this is your home?
MARY: Beg your pardon?
GERRY: This is where you live?
MARY: Oh. Yes. Sorry. This is my home.
GERRY:
MARY: My castle.
GERRY looks around the tiny flat.
He looks back at MARY.
Silence.
A cup of tea. What am I doing? I’ll put the kettle on, shall I?
GERRY:
MARY: Please, Gerry. Have a seat and I’ll go and put a pot on. If there’s one thing better than a cup of tea, surely it’s a whole pot, don’t you think?
GERRY:
MARY: And we’ve
 Well, we’ve got a lot to talk about, don’t we?
GERRY: Where should I sit?
MARY: Oh. Yes. Anywhere is fine. Anywhere you like.
GERRY:
MARY: You used to hate wearing pants. Do you remember that? Even in public you’d rip your pants off and run around naked from the waist down. The number of times you’d go up to a stranger and start a conversation when you were stark bonkers, willy-to-the-wind naked from the waist down, was
 Well it was

GERRY:
MARY: Sorry. God, I’m sorry.
GERRY:
MARY: Tea. I’ll get some tea.
They stare at each other.
Eventually MARY leaves.
Once alone, GERRY looks at the chair and small couch on offer, but still doesn’t sit. He looks around the tiny room instead. He looks huge in the small space. He goes to a wall and looks at some photos in frames. There’s only one or two and they’re old.
As he looks at the pictures, MARY comes back in. She doesn’t say anything. She watches GERRY, without him noticing.
After a moment she leaves again.
GERRY looks to the door MARY just left from, then moves back to the middle of the room. He looks at the chairs again, then at the front door. After a moment he moves towards the front door to leave, but MARY comes back in with a pot of tea on a tray.
Here we are.
GERRY moves back to the middle of the room.
A good, strong pot of tea. Nothing flash. I hope that’s alright?
GERRY:
MARY: You haven’t sat down.
GERRY: No.
MARY: Would you like to?
GERRY: Yeah, but

MARY: What is it?
GERRY: I just wasn’t sure where I should sit.
MARY: I said anywhere.
GERRY: I know, but

MARY: But you still weren’t sure?
GERRY:
MARY: Well, tell you what, why don’t I sit here, and you sit there. How about that?
GERRY: I don’t k...
