Produktinformationen "Is That You, Ruthie?: The Play"
In the 1930' s, a family seeking refuge from the Depression arrived at Queensland's oppressive Cherbourg Aboriginal Mission. Unbeknownst to them, they were stepping into a life dictated by ' The Act' . The eldest daughter, Ruby (Buthalangi), and her baby, Ruth (Munya), were placed in the Women's Dormitory - a system that would forever change their lives. When Ruth was just four and a half years old, she was removed entirely from her mother's care, only to be forced into domestic service years later. Yet, despite the harsh realities of institutional life, the Dommo Girls forged connections that became a source of strength, joy and a lifelong friendship that helped them survive. Based on the David Unaipon Award-winning memoir Is That You, Ruthie?, Leah Purcell's playscript is a poignant exploration of the journeys a mother and daughter take to find their way back to each other. Capturing Hegarty's signature humour and courage, this masterful adaptation is a rich tapestry of truth-telling that delves into the complex aftermath of the government's removal policy.
