Stolen Workshop

Directed by Leah Purcell

Watch and discuss key scenes of Stolen by Jane Harrison, a tender and moving story that brings the tragic human story of the Stolen Generations to the Australian stage. Experiencing scenes off the page and hearing from artists gives students a deeper insight into this significant work of contemporary Australian theatre, and the political and social context in which it was created.
