Five plays from around the country that illustrate the rich tradition of Indigenous storytelling as it flourishes in contemporary theatre. %##CHAR13##%%##CHAR13##%'Each play is a durable, resilient stone that both builds upon Indigenous traditions but also lays the foundation for the generations that will follow.' â Professor Larissa Behrendt, from her introduction.%##CHAR13##%%##CHAR13##%Bitin' Back by Vivienne Cleven is adapted from her award-winning novel of the same name. 'This is a zany and uproarious black farce' â National Indigenous Times%##CHAR13##%%##CHAR13##%Black Medea by Wesley Enoch is 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.%##CHAR13##%%##CHAR13##%King Hit by David Milroy and Geoffrey Narkle strikes at the very heart of the Stolen Generations, exploring the impact on an individual and a culture when relationships are brutally broken.%##CHAR13##%%##CHAR13##%Rainbow's End by Jane Harrison is set in the 1950s on the fringe of a country town.
