Presented by Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company
Which Way Home by Katie Beckett
WA Premiere
Tash and her Dad are going on a road trip. Home to Country – where the sky is higher, and the world stretches out forever. It’s a long way from the wide streets and big old houses of Tash’s childhood. Two black faces in a very white suburb. Dad still reckons he’s the King of Cool, but he’s an old fella now. This time, it’s Tash who’s behind the wheel – taking him home.
Infused with humour and heart, Which Way Home draws from writer Katie Beckett’s own memories of growing up with her single Aboriginal father. Featuring real-life father and daughter and much loved Yirra Yaakin performers Derek and Shaquita Nannup, this personal story offers profound insight into father–daughter relationships and challenges traditional ideas of parenthood.
Which Way Home is a heartfelt and moving exploration of family, identity and home.
