Coranderrk: We Will Show The Country
A verbatim-theatre play written by Nanni about Australian Indigenous men and women who testified before 1881 Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into the Coranderrk Aboriginal Station. The minutes of the inquiry were edited to produce a viable length for a play in conjunction with Andrea James a Yorta Yorta playwright and ILBIJERRI Theatre Company.

The play has been one of La Mama Theatre' s most successful shows. The play ran for multiple sold-out seasons on Country, in Melbourne and Regional Victoria as well as the Sydney Opera House. "The play and the education modules mean the project will remain influential. “We wanted a legacy of engagement beyond the funding period,” explains Assoc. Professor Evans."
