We walked through the belly of the storm, you clutching your basket to your side, one step in front of another step in front of another step. Through the intestines, step, step, step and out through its bowls.
From Artistic Director, Yvette Walker, Seven Deadly Gins was the New Australian Play Award, first runner-up at the 2021 Australian Theatre Festival in New York. It has its long-awaited world-debut with Brown’s Mart, under the Direction of acclaimed Top End practitioner Shari Sebbens.
A trip back home to the Gulf summons all of Magenta’s demons to congregate in one place where she is forced to confront what has been buried for so long. It’s time for her to move forward. But her past has different ideas... Is she strong enough to handle the truth?
Yvette acknowledges the contributions from Leah Purcell over the many years of development, including some writing in the early stages of development and extends heartfelt thanks to the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women from around the country that have been a part of the life and development of the work.
Yvette dedicates this play to First Nations, and all, women and girls. Those in pain, those broken, those healing, those whole, those fighting, those survived, those triumphant, those leading. All who deserve a life without violence.
