Scene: Central stage curtain slightly open, revealing a symbolic chalkboard with faint Indigenous words and patterns barely erased. Characters (symbolic, not literal): Beth: small bird perched on a musical note or book (represents her singing her mother’s song). Evelyn: herbs or medicinal plants in her hands, glowing slightly (represents Indigenous medicine). Joe: small home icon or river near his feet (represents returning to family/home). John: cracked theater mask floating above (represents acting/propaganda). Susan: flowing ribbon or veil moving toward a distant town (represents marriage and departure). Trophy: tilted, worn, and symbolic, floating or resting on stage corner (represents struggle for recognition). Stage background: neutral tones, woven patterns subtly integrated into the curtain, raindrops falling faintly. Style: hand-drawn sketch or ink-on-paper look, earthy tones, symbolic rather than realistic, minimalistic but rich in meaning, lots of empty space for imagination. Extras: numbers like “1939” subtly integrated into patterns, abstract Indigenous symbols scattered softly across the curtain or chalkboar See more
