1 1 York Ian Michael , Chris Isaacs , 2020 single work drama

'A tree-changing couple try to make an old building a home. A pack of Cub Scouts on summer camp are terrorised by a ghostly matron. A returned soldier seeks aid for his sick son. An unjust trial sentences two Nyoongar men to death.

'Set in and around a single old abandoned hospital, York moves through time to uncover the buried histories we have built over. Traversing four different eras, this daring new work sheds light on how our stories are told – and who tells them.

'Inspired by 200 years of real accounts, York is a collaboration by Ian Michael and Chris Isaacs.'

'Between the years 1900-1970, an unknown number of Indigenous Australian children were forcibly removed from their families. Parents driven mad, grandparents heartbroken, siblings torn apart, language lost, and culture stripped away.'

'Using testimonials from survivors of the Stolen Generation, Melbourne Fringe Festival award-winner and Noongar man Ian Michael invites you to listen in on the silenced stories of his country.' (Source: She Said Theatre website)
