A Compelling Force : Indigenous Women Playwrights

چکیده
In 2005, a new production of Jane Harrison's Stolen will be presented at the Sydney Theatre Company, seven years after its premiere in a co-production by Ilbijerri and Playbox Theatre companies in 1998 at the Melbourne International Festival for the Arts. The first draft of the play was presented by Ilbijerri at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 1993, and already, it signalled a new mode of story-telling about an emergent issue in Australian culture. As well as the regional tours in Australia that followed the initial season, Stolen toured to London for Australia Week in 2000, and returned to the UK in 2002. It has been presented in Hong Kong and translated into Japanese with an Australian production featuring at the Tokyo International Festival in 2002. At Playbox, productions in 2002 and 2003 were seen by more than 15,000 people and it is extensively studied on school curricula. This work more than any other Indigenous play has spoken back to mainstream Australia , as well as, more controversially, presented stories about Australia's treatment of Indigenous citizens internationally.

Indigenous Australian women have much higher incidence of cervical cancer compared to non-Indigenous women.
