Cargo - The True Adventures of Mary Bryant

By Sarah Cathcart & Kerreen Ely-Harper

10 February 2006 – 12 March 2006 The Malthouse

Malthouse Theatre,

New Writing Theatre World Premiere

The true story of Mary Bryant: a story of banishment and first encounter, brutality and love - and legendary escape from Botany Bay through unchartered waters to Timor. The story of a young woman desperate to surivive at all costs told through a performance which digs deep into the imagination of the settler colony.
