Crow Fire

By Jadah Milroy

19 February 2002 – 23 February 2002 Beckett Theatre

Playbox Theatre Company, Ilbijerri Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Theatre Coop,

New Writing Theatre World Premiere Co-Production

Jadah Milroy uses more complex poetic and surreal elements blended with humour to weave together stories of people lost in the city.

Crow Fire is the story of Dayna. Raised white, and a public servant, she is frustrated with life and unable to make a difference. Dayna is drawn to Crow, a spiritual force, a big black survivor. Donning her crow costume, she tries to generate a fire in the people she encounters—a politician and her disillusioned banker husband; Yungi, who has come from the desert to the city seeking help; and Tony, her friend.
