New Theatre Presents PARRAMATTA GIRLS, 5/18-6/11
By: Meghan Schuler
New Theatre presents PARRAMATTA GIRLS, May 18 through June 11.
A group of women, former inmates of the notorious Parramatta Girls Home, reunite four decades later to face the demons of their shared experiences. Through action that shifts between past and present, we grow to know these tough, resilient women and to admire the courage and humour that helped them survive.
Based on real testimonies, award-winning playwright Alana Valentine tells an important contemporary Australian story, exploring the effects of institutionalization on vulnerable teenagers, and exposing the abuse and neglect these women endured as punishment for not conforming to society's expectations.
