READ NOWDirector Richelle Russ said the play was a way to understand the challenges migrants can face in a new country.
“The play will take people on a journey through Aboriginal history, the arrival of the first fleet, the gold rush and Australia’s more recent migrant history,” she said.
“This walk through Australian history is done in a really fun way, however the show is also packed full of emotion to really help the audience connect with the characters.”
The show also includes songs written by Kathy Prosser of Possum Music who was awarded Australian Children’s Songwriter of the year in both 2013 and 2014.
