Debutante

In this provocative audiobook, celebrated playwright Nakkiah Lui and actress Miranda Tapsell explore the complex legacy of the debutante ball, a controversial colonial tradition reimagined through the lens of contemporary Aboriginal experience. As they don their hats and gloves, the duo embarks on a journey from London's tea etiquette to the ways First Nations women globally have transformed this event, questioning whether elegance and decorum can serve as a source of empowerment or if it's more effective to voice their anger. With humor and insight, they invite listeners to ponder the balance between tradition and modern expression.
