AN INTERACTIVE OPPORTUNITY TO DISSECT + DISCUSS ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR CURRICULUM TEXTS LIVE ON STAGE
________
A Monkey Baa Theatre Company initiative
hitler’s daughter seminar
In this specially curated seminar, led by the play’s original Director and Co-Adaptor, Sandra Eldridge, Monkey Baa brings the text to life for students studying the play and explores key themes and historical context for students studying Jackie French’s original novel.
Students will experience professional actors performing key scenes from the play before discussing the journeys and ambiguities of each character, the design, directorial choices and the use of a ‘facto-fictal’ storytelling device.
Sandra Eldridge will bring her unique insights into the production as a Director and the process of adaptation from the novel to the stage, exploring also the current contextual significance of this work.
