'This one-woman show is about Fiona's life, her kinship lineage and her struggles to come to terms with them. It also showcases her strong traditional movement and storytelling abilities in a contemporary format. The play, written, devised and performed by Fiona Doyle is a portrayal of issues and circumstances experienced by the character, Ngilla, as a result of her bi-racial heritage. It presents snippets and images of indigenous life in the Western Cape Region of Australia through dialogue and photo images.' Source: http://www.fullcircle.ca (Sighted 14/06/2007)
