BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS

by Van Badham

Biographical Details is a dramatic monologue that explores the violence lurking in and around an apparently 'white, urban and bourgeois' life.

Trawling through a collection of photographs from her past, from her suburban Sydney christening through her expulsion from high school to her years as a political activist and beyond, the performing auto-biographer examines the incidents of violence - some comic, some cynical, some harrowing - that hide behind the seeming banalities of the photographs.

Biographical Details is one young woman's journey from innocence to experience, and from anger to outrage.
