Some Secrets Should Be Kept Secret

  • Theatre
  • Nightlife

When a woman dies, three letters are sent to her adopted children from the Stolen Generation asking them to return to the remote homestead for the reading of her will.

So begins an epic journey for the siblings. Their arrival at the old farm where they're welcomed by the old housekeeper catalyses the unravelling of the secrets held deep in the home for some thirty years, and the three are forced to face some demons they'd prefer stayed buried in the back paddock.

This gothic tale of lies, secrets, and Truth Telling is so epic it won't be contained by theatre walls. Written by 2025 Nick Enright Prize for Playwriting winner, Glenn Shea, Some Secrets Should Be Kept Secret is the final chapter in his extraordinary thirty year work, An Indigenous Trilogy. Don't miss it.
