Unspoken

Rebecca Clarke

The audience follows a fictionalised account of a young woman’s life, from her role as a much loved only child to a new, more challenging role with the birth of her brain-damaged brother, and her subsequent “escape” to University, where she is captured by first love.

Writer and performer, Rebecca Clarke has astonished audiences across Australia with Unspoken, receiving Best Newcomer and Best Independent Production at the 2005 Sydney Theatre Awards, and the Sydney Morning Herald hailing it “One of those rare works that triumphantly affirms both art and life”.

“Prepare to think about how honest you really are. Prepare to laugh. Prepare to weep. But if tears do come, it won’t be because they’ve been manipulated out of you by cheap sentimental trickery; it will be because of the shear beauty and grace of Clarke’s personal atonement.” The Age
