Luck of the Draw

This play traces one family's plight when enforce separation crosses generations and challenges its survival. Reconciliation might be a recent issue in the minds of politicians and white Australia in general, but it has been a life-long struggle for those directly affected. In a play which explores the disastrous attempt at social engineering directed at Australia's indigenous people, writer Ned Manning searches for a way of living with the past so that black and white Australians can travel together into the future.
