Windmill Baby - (12-17 May - Riverside Studios 7.30pm (exc.17th), matinee 16th 3pm, 17th 4pm)
Written and directed by David Milroy, performed by Rohanna Angus. Musician Patrick Woodley. Presented by Yirra Yaakin
(www.yirrayaakin.com.au).
Winner of the Patrick White Award, Windmill Baby is a one-woman redemption piece told by Maymay, an old Aboriginal
woman who returns to the deserted Kimberley cattle station that was her home 50 years ago. Told by Indigenous voices,
with the endearing characters of Wun-man,
Two-man, Aunty Darbella and old Maymay, this play is delivered with the poetry of a campfire storyteller.
"A rare gem – a mature, well-formed script with hidden depths."
