Darwin Festival

On the Book: Wulamanayuwi and the Seven Pamanui

Theatre |

Echoing the tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and using Tiwi language in rhyming verse, music and song, Jason De Santis' script brings to life the dreamtime story of a young girl and her adventures in a mystical ancient land.

A full-scale production will be part of the 2011 Darwin Festival.

The Darwin Festival playreading series On the Book is the live theatre equivalent of your local book club, they offer an animated, rehearsed version of a theatre script. We put the writer, director and actors into a room for just a short time and invite you to witness the results.
