In a performance described as ‘fearless’ and ‘exquisite’, Emily Goddard dazzled audiences with her portrayal of convict life at the Cascades Female Factory.

1839. Cascades Female Factory, Hobart Town. In a solitary cell, on the edge of survival, a ‘sleek little savage’ waits alone in the darkness. Left for dead, ten thousand miles from home, she plots escape and reveals, with biting mockery, the untold tales of her captors. This is Eden is at once an examination of our dark past, a parody of the way we perceive it and a vital call to arms.

Supported by the always brilliant direction of Susie Dee, this anti bonnet drama inspired by the rebellion and resistance of the female convicts returns for a limited season.
