Walking into the Bigness tallies the experiences, losses and learnings that amount to a man. From a 12-year-old abattoir worker, to an investigator for the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, these are Richard Frankland’s yarns exactly as he spins them – unvarnished and rich in blackfella humour.

Under the direction of Wayne Blair (The Sapphires, Redfern Now), Richard’s tales are given universal voice by a diverse cast. Acoustic melodies lift the storytelling as Richard himself accompanies on guitar. In turns moving and funny, this intimate work traverses life’s undulating terrain on a hunt for meaning.
