Holy Day

by Andrew Bovell

This is a disquieting story of trust and truth, innocence and faith, set in the mid-nineteenth century on the white frontier. When a white woman arrives at an isolated traveller's rest with a chilling story of a murdered husband and stolen baby, the tenuous peace is disturbed and retribution sought. The only witness to the crime is a native woman who neither protests her innocence nor implicates others of guilt. From the award-winning playwright Andrew Bovell comes this chilling story of suspense in which truth has the power to both illuminate and destroy innocence. (4 male, 4 female).

[Betty · Rating 4 out of 5]

A powerful but confronting and finally, miserable play.

[Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredibly engaging, though so bleak. I guess it has to be to reflect the reality of this life and these people.
