Dear Australia Project
In April 2020 Playwriting Australia (PWA) commissioned 50 playwrights and actors from around Australia to write and perform one 3 minute monologue for the Dear Australia Project. To reflect creatively on the impact of COVID-19. The monologues were streamed on Youtube channels across the country in early June and the scripts have been published by Australian Plays .
In Barb’s piece “Burning”, Auntie Rayma Morrison is Meena, a grandmother caring for her 8 year old granddaughter Lizzy, during COVID. BURNING is no. 38 of 50 monologues. Jump to the 8 minute mark to view “Burning.”
