Black Swan State Theatre Company and Sydney Theatre Company present

Signs of Life

By Tim Winton

21 July - 18 August

The Dirt Music continues … World Premiere!

Alone in her farm house one night, Georgie is spooked by noises outside. An Aboriginal man soon appears out of the darkness, asking for help for him and his sister. Can she help? Should she trust them? And what do you do when guests settle in and show no inclination to move on?

A story about people with uncertain futures navigating with only shreds of the past to guide them. It’s about the mutual incomprehension between white and black – the anxiously safe and the pragmatic dispossessed – in country where nobody is really sure they belong anymore, and where everyone’s fate seems to have been determined by those who came before.

Venue: Heath Ledger Theatre, State Theatre Centre of WA

Director: Kate Cherry

Featuring: Tom E. Lewis, Helen Morse, George Shevtsov, Pauline Whyman
