“Debbie has had to move Dad into care and it’s fallen on her to pack up his garage.But, like a flat pack without instructions, she’ll have to unpack all of the memories before she can put it together and move on.”
Join independent artist, Danielle Brame Whiting, for a performance of her original work, ‘Flat Pack’, on Tuesday 21st April, 11am, at the James Theatre, Dungog, Thursday 23rd April, 11am, at the Merriwa School of Arts, or Friday 24th April, 7pm, The Old Court Theatre, Scone.
Premiering at The Art House, Wyong in 2024, ‘Flat Pack’ is a tender, funny and emotional journey exploring the relationship between a daughter and her Vietnam Veteran father.
“A tender and dynamically delivered deconstruction of the joy, grief, and revelation that accompanies
intergenerational transformation.” Luke Carmen
“Funny, poignant and thought provoking. Flat Pack is a keepsake of childhood experience of a family
affected by war. A must watch.” – Belinda Taylor
Following the Dungog and Merriwa shows, Danielle is offering a two-hour workshop, “Writing Personal Stories for the Stage” from 1pm – 3pm, where participants can learn skills in taking their own stories and crafting them for a stage performance.
