Brothers Wreck by Jada Alberts Director Leah Purcell Set & Costume Designer Dale Ferguson Lighting Designer Luiz Pampolha Composer & Sound Designer Brendan O’Brien
Media Release April 2014 Belvoir presents Brothers Wreck By Jada Alberts Director Leah Purcell Set & Costume Designer Dale Ferguson Lighting Designer Luiz Pampolha Composer & Sound Designer Brendan O’Brien With Cramer Cain Lisa Flanagan Rarriwuy Hick Hunter Page-Lochard Bjorn Stewart Belvoir St Theatre | Upstairs 24 May – 22 June 2014 ‘it shouldn’t be this hard... but look around ay? You're not the only one who's lost a brother this way.’ Brothers Wreck begins with a death: on a hot morning under a house in Darwin, Ruben wakes to find his cousin Joe hanging from the rafters. The play that follows tells the story of how Ruben’s family, little by little, brings Ruben back from the edge. It is a confronting and honest exploration of grief and loss but ultimately redemption. Jada Alberts, winner of the 2013 Balnaves Foundation Indigenous Playwright’s Award, is an actor and theatre-maker with a powerful voice and a clear vision to tell the stories of her community. She is one of a growing group of young Indigenous artists who have looked to each other as much as they have to their elders for inspiration. Her play emerges from the gathering voices of this new generation and tells a deeply relevant and current story of the reality of life for many Indigenous families. An outstanding cast of Indigenous artists has been assembled. Rarriwuy Hick is gaining attention for her television performances in Redfern Now and The Gods of Wheat Street (ABC1). She is also a compelling stage actor, as well as a dancer and choreographer with Bangarra Dance Theatre. -

A trio of Aboriginal girls Based, incredibly, on a true story, and developed from a successful from a remote mission get a stony stage musical, this is a big-hearted, barnstorming put-on-a-show response to their country and western crowdpleaser. Beneath the spangly exterior, however, it has songs at a talentSynopsis show. But Dave, a surprisingly trenchant things to say about Australian identity and drunken Irish talent scout, thinks they have potential. the bitter legacy of institutionalised racism. Seeing them as Australia's answer to 'The Of course, none of this would really hit home unless we believed in Supremes', he recruits their cousin Kay to The Sapphires as authentic soul sisters, achieved thanks to the group, and convinces them to switch to ‘Australian Idol’ finalist Jessica Mauboy’s sumptuous lead vocals, soul songs. Then he gets the girls their and astute song selections from the Motown, Stax and Atlantic first true gig - singing for the troops in the songbooks. middle of the Vietnam war zone... With rising star O’Dowd in command of both the comic timing and emotional grace notes and beautifully playing off Deborah Mailman as the group’s alpha female, the movie is gutsy and entertaining enough to have us forgiving its occasional credibility glitches and obviously CGI-ed battlefront visuals. -

Theatre Review March 23, 2018
Theatre review March 23, 2018 Black is the New White By Nakkiah Lui Directed by Paige Rattray Roslyn Packer Theatre Sydney Theatre Company It is Christmas, always a good time to set a play about a family. Charlotte Gibson (Shari Sebbens) is staying with her fiancé Francis Smith (Tom Stokes) in her parents' home while they are away. This would generally not be an unusual situation except she is Aboriginal and he is white. They are both from well-off families, which sets the stage for the chaos that is to come. She is a lawyer and he plays modern classical music on his cello and lives off his family trust. As each family member arrives we learn that Charlotte's father Ray (Tony Briggs) is both a famous former boxer and politician who relentlessly claims to be Australia's Martin Luther King but seems to spend his time now on Twitter fighting his former opponent in parliament Denison Smith (Geoff Morrell) much to the frustration of his long-suffering wife Joan (Melodie Reynolds-Diarra). Joan is the real rock in the family and the writer of Ray's speeches. Already you can see the complexities and thankfully there is a narrator (Luke Carroll) who leads us through these and introduces us to the rest of this family. There is other daughter Rose Jones (Miranda Tapsell) who has made it big as a fashion designer in New York, and her husband, former leading Aboriginal footballer Sonny (Anthony Taufa) who wants to give it all up to become a missionary. We become aware of tensions between Charlotte and Francis as they turn the black/white debate on its head and when Ray and Joan suddenly arrive home they meet Francis in all his naked glory. -
