The Belong Trilogy began with the first production, Eve performed in 2012, as part of the Metro Arts Independents series. It told the story of Australian novelist and poet Eve Langley who lived her life torn between the domestic and artistic worlds. The second, Home, took audiences on a journey through Brown Ash's life and was staged as part of the La Boite Indie program, and was also performed as part of Queensland Theatre Company's 2015 season. The third and final production, is a dramatisation of her brother David Brown's novel He Dreamed a Train.

1
Eve Margi Brown Ash , 2012 single work drama 'This play crawls beneath the skin of Australia's Virginia Woolf: the enigmatic Eve Langley. This is the story of a poet and a writer caught somewhere between the domestic and the artistic, between the grip of Oscar Wilde and the realm of the Gods. Unfurling in fragments of poetry, Eve is revealed as a woman at odds with her prescribed position. A reluctant mother and a passionate artist who longs to be left alone to interpret the world through viciously beautiful prose. Part memoir, part fiction, part homage to the sacrifice of the artist, this is a story for anyone who's ever felt as if they never belonged, trapped in their own skin, called by the planets but stuck precariously on a shaky middle-ground.'

y separately published work icon Home Margi Brown Ash , Fortitude Valley : Playlab , 2012 Z1874826 2012 single work drama 'Embracing fragmented myth and storytelling, Margi Brown Ash re-imagines life as actor, therapist, wife and mother, uncovering the extraordinariness of an ordinary life. The audience awakens to their own stories as we journey with Margi as an actor in New York in the 80s, a hopeful schoolgirl in 1960s country NSW and a No. 96 soapie starlet in her 'old home town' Sydney in the 70s. Along the way we return again and again to Brisbane, where we grapple with our own sense of 'home' and the many stories we hold of isolation and belonging.

Moving and uplifting theatre, this is both your story and mine, someone's and everyone's, timely and timeless.' (Source La Boite Theatre Company website)
