Greater
Sunrise

By Zoe Hogan Directed by Julia Patey

  • Venue Downstairs Theatre
  • Dates 5 – 21 April 2018

    “How do you decide? What you’re willing to do?”

    Dili, East Timor. A post-occupation playground where government and commercial interests collide.

    Enter Joana: an Australian aid worker who has just arrived in the 21st century’s newest nation. There are dinner parties to host, village ceremonies to plan and a Nobel laureate to meet. As the arrival of Australia’s Foreign Minister looms, Joana must decide where her allegiances lie. It’s a decision that will take her all the way to The Hague.

    Greater Sunrise takes us behind the closed doors of the biggest government scandal you’ve never heard of; a visiting Foreign Minister, Australia’s aid program, and billions of dollars hidden beneath the sea.
