Description
The Secret River (Stage Version) by Kate Grenville is a deeply moving and unflinching exploration of Australia's dark history. William Thornhill, a convict from London, arrives in New South Wales with the promise of a new life, but finds that the land he claims as his own holds a profound and painful truth. As Thornhill navigates this complex world, he must confront the ancient custodians of the land, the Dharug people. This powerful story is beautifully written and almost unbearable at times, as it grapples with loss, competing distresses, and the impossibility of making amends. This edition includes an introduction by adapter Andrew Bovell, a foreword by historian Henry Reynolds, and music used in the original production.
