The Black Woman of Gippsland

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

Based on real events, written and directed by Andrea James (Sunshine Super Girl) and set on her grandmother’s Country, The Black Woman of Gippsland is a poetic, emotionally rich and clever embracing of First Nations stories that have long been silenced.

A woman is tossed ashore from the sea, bedraggled and lost. A century and a half later, another finds herself diving deep into the truth behind a lingering legend.
