Eyeing The WEEKEND – August 30, 2018

FRIDAY 31/8

Kick off the weekend with a play

Jurassica is a story of family, migration, language and growing old. It is a heartwarming tale, told with humour and pathos and spoken in both English and Italian. Developed during his time as resident writer at Red Stitch, with Dramaturge Gary Abrahams, Dan Giovannoni’s magical new play, Jurassica, explores what it is to migrate, to be displaced and to spend the rest of your life searching for home. It’s a play about the importance of family and about mending fences before you grow too old. Go to gpac.org.au to book.
