LADIES DAY
By Alana Valentine / Australia / 2016
Directed by Ben Sterlin / Toronto / 2022
It’s Ladies Day at the Broome races and the divinely beautiful Mike is the toast of the track. But amongst the froth and festivity, a brutal act of violence reminds us that life is not just all swishy hemlines, debonair gents and fascinators galore.
This play is about reclaiming one’s agency and narrative in the wake of a debilitating trauma.
