OODGEROO - BLOODLINE TO COUNTRY

by Sam Watson

She was Oodgeroo of the Noonuccal people. She was Kath Walker, poet and activist. She was mother to her two sons. Sam Watson's new work tells the true story of Oodgeroo Noonuccal and her son, Denis Walker, co-founder (with Sam Watson) of the Australian Black Panthers. OODGEROO - BLOODLINE TO COUNTRY weaves Oodgeroo's personal and cultural life with her time on a BOAC aircraft hijacked in Dubai by Palestinian terrorists in 1974. Sam Watson tells the previously untold story of the tensions that tore at the fabric of one of Australias's most prominent families. This play comes with teacher's notes. Available now.
