It’s the last year of school and 17-year-old Josephine Alibrandi can’t wait for her future to begin – if only she can get past the world of her Nonna, holding onto the values of the old country and the world of her Mum, full of care and secrets. It’s time to take her place in the real world, beyond her family, beyond being an Alibrandi.
But this is the year Josie gets to know her father. This is the year she falls in love. And this is the year she uncovers the truth – and finds the Alibrandi she has been searching for.
Three generations of women. The Italian-Australian experience. A trip back into the 1990s. A theatrical adaptation of the beloved iconic Australian novel and groundbreaking film, fresh from sold-out seasons in Sydney and Melbourne for its Adelaide premiere. Directed by the new Artistic Director of Brink Productions, Stephen Nicolazzo.
