CITY OF GOLD by Meyne Wyatt | 4 Mar - 26 Mar | Heath Ledger Theatre

Breythe is never just an actor. Always an Indigenous actor. Always in the black show, the black play. Put him in that Australia Day lamb ad. Get that ‘authenticity’. That’s what the people want. Give them what they want. Get that big payday. Even if it draws criticism from your community.

But a messenger bird comes for him. His father is dead. Head home. Back to Kal to grieve. Back to his family shattered by pain and violence that won’t be laid to rest.

City of Gold is an unflinching force of drama that urgently questions injustice and racism in Australia today, and asks: have things changed?

A Black Swan State Theatre Company of WA and Sydney Theatre Company production as part of Perth Festival.
