Eight women who were former inmates of Parramatta Girls Home reunite in 2003, forty years after their terms. Moving between the reunion and flashbacks, they revisit abuse, institutional mistreatment, escape attempts, and loss, then confront secrets and tell their stories together. The verbatim-based drama draws on interviews with former inmates.
Inspired by the true story of Tony Briggs's mother and aunt, four Yorta Yorta women form a singing group and tour Vietnam during the war, while the play addresses Aboriginal rights with humor.
