PlayFull 4
Presented by Brown’s Mart and the NT Writers Centre as part of the Northern Territory Writers Festival

Sit back and let local actors bring to life scenes from a selection of works by talented playwrights from the Territory and beyond. Enjoy excerpts from:

• Sarah Reuben and Jeffrey Jay Fowler’s The Gifts, a family epic that unpacks the fraught art of gift giving and its sometimes unintended consequences.
• Sandra Thibodeaux’s Genius is a dark comedy inspired by the life and work of 17th century painter, Artemisia Gentileschi, that takes a paint-stained knife to the persistent issue of women’s harassment and abuse in the arts and society (CW: sexual assault; violence.)
• Rachael Chisholm, Betty Sweetlove and Ciella Williams’ Alien follows four characters trapped in a remote NT roadhouse, visited by alien interferences from the past that force them to confront their complex relationships to place and history.
