No Child

Overview

As part of The Brisbane Festival, The Brisbane Powerhouse is hosting No Child. This one-woman performance is a theatrical piece that cleverly and humorously comments on the New York City public school system. The performance stars Nilaja Sun who convincingly plays all 16 characters. Sun draws on her personal experience to accurately portray the relationships between teachers and students in New York's roughest schools as well as alluding to pressing social issues that are imbedded in the education system.

Sun not only performs in this interesting piece, she also wrote No Child. Her amazing performance has received rave reviews and awards over the two years that the piece has been playing for. This September marks the first time that the thought provoking performance has hit Australia.

The play goes for a little over an hour and will not only tickle your funny bone, but make you think.
