| Arawarra | |||
A freedom fighter, a Ngandah, a protector and a First Nations leader at the time of colonisation. The story of Arawarra was erased from the history books, dwarfed by the arrival and impact of Alexander Berry, who changed the Shoalhaven landscape forever. Told with courage, tenderness and humanity, Arawarra unearths the hidden story of this country, and celebrates one of the many heroes on the wrong side of history. Created in collaboration between Dharawal language teacher, Jake Māra, and director Lincoln Smith, Arawarra is a story of local and national significance that we need to reckon with as a nation to understand the truth of where we have come from and forge a path forward together.

A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
As befitting a work honouring the inventor of the printing press, Gutenberg! The Musical! is enamoured of words, drunk on words, intoxicated with text, mad for the metaphor, passionate for the pun.
