Summary Of The Play 'Black Diggers'

Improved Essays
“I don’t want to join in. I don’t belong” (Nigel, p96) as the play is told through the eyes of the Aboriginal soldiers and what they went through. The book follows the idea of belonging and how those who were considered ‘different’ feel that they don’t belong, because they were: discriminated against, abused, called names, assaulted, named and shamed, etc. This script has been written in response to these atrocities, that most people had no idea about until they have read or seen the play, Black Diggers. I believe that this text, specifically the last line of the play (Nigel, p96), sum up what the play is about and presents the struggles of what the ‘different’ human beings went through, what the Aboriginals had to accomplish so that they could

    The play Black Diggers, by Tom Wright, involves many themes and ideas, including belonging, truth, and the hope of fighting racism and leaving a positive legacy. These themes are evident throughout the play, and are especially prominent in the “Old Soldier monologue” from pages 91-93. Ern (the “Old Soldier”), is given a reflective monologue, set in 1956, which encapsulates many of the key themes and ideas in the play, before bringing it to a close. The play takes place in several different times, not in chronological order, between 1887 and 1993, which provides a disjointed feeling to the play, and a wide range of contexts that allows for a larger variety of attitudes and ideas involving the characters, and change (or lack thereof) of those…

The Medium shows them the Black Thing in a different part of the universe, and they watch as a star sacrifices itself to destroy the Black Thing.

    Bangarra Dance Theatre’s phenomenon entitled Mathinna entails the awe-spiring, yet historically enlightening journey of an Aboriginal girl who was taken from her home and forced to conform to the westernised norms of the 1800’s. In an era plagued by racism and prejudice, Mathinna emanates the themes of colonialism, and cultural intolerance. Following the viewing of this scintillating production, it is undeniably clear that the architect of Mathinna, Stephen Page, has deliberately intended to shed light on the immoral practice of social and cultural erosion to emotionally move those of modern audiences. This essay serves to further elaborate on the cultural undertones of Mathinna displayed through a vast array of movement components which highlight…

    One way of admiring and understanding Shakespeare’s plays is through critical reading and analysis. The play Othello stars a Black, Muslim—Othello, sometimes, having a character who, is by race, black in a play or story, would somehow automatically contain issues about racism.

    “when the first slave was brought to the cape“ is a powerful poem by Shabbir Banoobhai that tells history of slavery in South Africa which the naked eye cannot see. It is a poem that uncovers the thoughts of the oppressed slaves. This poem shows slavery in a very different light than other poems do. This is a positive showing of slavery. The poem, in my opinion, is a form of protest poetry to empower those who were considered others.…
