Commissioned by Ilbijerri Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Co-operative, this play fulfils expectations of high-quality, thought-provoking and emotionally powerful drama.
Set in the 1950s, in the northern Victorian area of Shepparton and Mooroopna, Rainbow’s Endcreates a resonant “snapshot” of one particular Koori family to dramatise the struggle for decent houses, meaningful education, jobs and community acceptance.
Three generations of women, Nan Dear, Gladys and Dolly, live on the Flats in a shack furnished from the local tip and subject to flooding. For Nan, even the Flats represent progress of a kind, while Gladys has bigger ambitions for a real house and a real job for Dolly.

Great as an overview – but you need to focus on what the text teaches you about belonging. The key words in the previous sentence are ‘teaches you’. Use your blog as a place to explore your own personal response to the play. In particlar consider how your attitudes toward the ideas and feelings associated with belonging (or not belonging) are influenced by your reading (and your experiences). Keep posting 🙂
