FORGET ME NOT The Stirling Players Stirling Community Theatre Drama -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2017 -- Written By: Tom Holloway Directed By: Megan Dansie Gerry lives in Australia and is in his 60s. He’s damaged and he’s doing damage. His daughter Sally is fed up with him. She’s determined to uncover his past so she drags him to a social worker to finally get to the bottom of his childhood migration from Liverpool. He has spent his whole life thinking he’s an orphan. Mary is in her 80's, living alone in a small flat in Liverpool. She’s never given up hope that her son will come home. From the end of World War 2, and up to the 1970s, over 3,000 children were taken from the UK and brought to live in institutions in Australia. They were taken from poor families and single parent families and in nearly all instances were told that their parents were dead. Promised a new start in a new land where sunshine and food were plentiful, instead, they were sent to work on farms where they were unloved, and in many instances abused. The Stirling Players are proud to present the South Australia premiere of this powerful contemporary drama with its raw, aching and beautifully honest conversations within a damaged family. Approx.
