‘Brave and quietly devastating’ is the way one reviewer described acclaimed Australian play HART which will be performed at The Basement Theatre in Auckland and BATS theatre in Wellington as part of the Fringe Festival.

Actor and proud Noongar man Ian Michael, director Penny Harpham and writer Seanna van Helten wrote the show based upon the testimonies of four indigenous Australian survivors of the Stolen Generation. Their hope is to open up conversations about Australian society and to tell stories that haven’t been heard.
