Play/book
Five Indigenous children watch, captivated, as Sandy tells them about the desert. Playfully, they re-enact the rocks being crumbled by the wind Later, Sandy finishes the story alone.
‘The women… would shove sand inside themselves… to stop the men from raping them. My mother called me Sandy anyway.’
Stolen follows five characters. Anne is adopted for her pale complexion; Sandy is on the run; Ruby has been abused her whole life; Jimmy is a rebel against the system; Shirley was stolen and watches her children being stolen too.
Muruwari playwright Jane Harrison stages the effects of being stolen, which are still felt today
