Synopsis
Deals with the forced adoptions of Aboriginal children taken from their families to live as white children. In the 1960s before the referendum on full citizenship rights for Aboriginal people in 1967, a little girl is taken from her mother. In the 1990s as a young woman, she discovers by chance that she is adopted and Aboriginal. The play relates to one aspect of Aboriginal history in a moving and sympathetic way, using humour to highlight the story (2 acts, 1 man, 9 women).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Close to the Bone is a story about a familys survival in the face of adversity, written with students from the EORA Centre in Redfern in 1990, some of whom were members of the Stolen Generations. Moving from the mission to Redfern and back again, it celebrates Redferns role in providing a focal point for dislocated Indigenous Australians. The play also honours the role EORA played in bringing people together and linking them with family. It was first performed by EORA students in the heart of Redfern. It was directed by Lydia Miller, David Kennedy and Rhoda Roberts with music by Scott Saunders and Karen Vaughan.Close to the Bone is a large cast play that is suitable for students of all ages and youth groups.This play presents the issue of the Stolen Generations with an authentic Aboriginal voice and gives a powerful impression of the continuing human impact of bureaucratic decisions on Aboriginal families, both in the past and now. The New South Wales Aboriginal Education Consultative Group fully supports and endorses the publication of this play. Linda Burney, President, NSW AECG This play deals with the forced adoptions of Aboriginal children taken from their families to live as white children before the full citizenship rights for Aboriginal people in 1967. It revolves round a girl who discovers the truth of her origins by chance. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
