Production



Rachel Perkins became aware of the play when she saw Trisha Morton-Thomas perform Mae's beach monologue as a part of the Eora College end-of-year student showcase. Perkins called Louis Nowra to adapt it into a half-hour drama, but Nowra suggested they make it as a feature film.[http://www.signis.net/malone/tiki-index.php?page=Rachel+Perkins&bl "Interview with Rachel Perkins", 'Signet', 18 December 1998] accessed 19 November 2012
