FEARLESS, exhilarating, \u2018nauseatingly exquisite\u2019: This is Eden heads to the Potato Shed next month to challenge everything you thought you knew about our Nation.
\nIn 1839, at Cascades Female Factory in Hobart Town, a sleek little savage waits alone in the darkness in a solitary cell, on the edge of survival.
\nLeft for dead, 10,000 miles from home, she plots escape and reveals, with biting mockery, the untold tales of her captors.
\nIn a Green Room Award nominated performance, performer, writer and theatre maker Emily Goddard and acclaimed director Susie Dee examine our dark past, parody the way we perceive it, heralding a vital call to arms.
\nA chance discovery of a previously unknown convict ancestor (Goddard\u2019s great-great-great Grandmother) and the hardships she endured whilst incarcerated at Hobart\u2019s Cascades Female Factory was the seed of inspiration for Goddard\u2019s dark, humorous and provocative \u2018anti bonnet drama\u2019 about the rebellion and resistance of the female convicts of Van Diemen\u2019s Land.
