Motherland

Overview

Motherland is the tale of three women. Each of them are victims of exile yet each are intrinsically linked by common heritage, familiar struggles and determination. Encompassing historical eras including World War 2 and the Russian Revolution, Motherland explores the journey of these women on an international scale and on a local scale, with Brisbane itself also playing as a significant backdrop to the story.

Written by Katherine Lyall-Watson and directed by Caroline Dunphy, Motherland has already been nominated for awards and has earned critical praise for its portrayal of its three main characters and their experiences with displacement and their subsequent identity.

This production will run until November 16 at Metro Arts. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online or by phone on (07) 3002 7100. Don’t miss this piece of historical fiction, a tale of exile, reunion and returning home.
