A collection of six plays from Victoria by Aboriginal writers that encompass myriad issues related to Aboriginal experiences. I Don't Wanna Play House is Tammy Anderson's moving story of her childhood. A truly remarkable account of the triumph of the human spirit. In Conversations With the Dead, by Richard Frankland, Jack is employed by the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. In his role he listens to the stories of grieving families and re-creates the lives of those who have died. A powerful, savage play which takes you into the aching sorrow of deaths in custody. In Enuff, by John Harding, a violent uprising is planned for Reconciliation Day in a future Australia. Will retribution or forgiveness prevail? Crow Fire by Jadah Milroy is the story of a young urban Indigenous woman, and a man from a desert community who was lured into the city.


Belonging by Tracey Rigney follows the story of a schoolgirl subjected to taunts and temptations, and her personal struggle to remain true to her culture and herself. Casting Doubts by Maryanne Sam is a funny and at times heart-wrenching play about an actors' casting agency and the problems faced by Indigenous actors.
