Artist's talk: Sally Richardson on Sonya Hartnett's The Ghost's Child


      Artist's talk    

Sally Richardson

Writer / Director / Producer

discusses

Sonya Hartnett's novel The Ghost's Child

and the process of adapting the book for the stage.

Winner of the 2008 Australian Young Adult Book of the Year Award, The Ghost's Child is an allegorical fable asking powerful questions about the worth of life and the power of love.

An exploration of independence and identity, Sally’s adaptation for stage invites consideration of how we live our lives, and reflects upon the nature of beauty, self, love, and the quality of happiness.
