A gripping modern mystery from Victoria's dark past written and directed by Andrea James (Sunshine Super Girl) and set on her grandmother's Country.
ABOUT THE SHOW
From Andrea James (Sunshine Super Girl) comes The Black Woman of Gippsland; a story of Victoria's dark past that is in dire need of revisiting told as a thrilling modern mystery that unfolds with beauty tragedy and rebellion.
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.
Jacinta's family is driving her up the wall and her academic career is floundering but amongst the books something doesn't feel right about the story history tells.
The myths and half-truths that surround the figure of a 'white woman' said to have lived among the Gunaikurnai people of Gippsland in the 1840s are so abundant it seems the reality is out of reach.
But Jacinta is determined to unearth the truth for herself and her Gunaikurnai family no matter the twists and turns the journey might take her on.
Based on real events and set on Andrea's 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.
