About the event
FLAT PACK – A memorable one-woman show by Danielle Brame Whiting
Tuesday 21st April
Live Show 11am • Workshop 1–3pm
“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 together anything new.”
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. It’s Australian, authentic, and relevant to our times.
“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
And a workshop – learn to tell YOUR story ...
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. This is not just for people who want to perform, it’s for anyone who’d like to explore how to tell some part of the story of their lives.
