A universal tale of the Australian spirit set against the backdrop of 1950s to 70s suburban Melbourne, My Sister Jill is a powerful coming-of-age story from one of the country's most dynamic theatre collaborations, Patricia Cornelius and Susie Dee.The youngest in the family, Christine idolises her father, especially his stories of wartime heroics. Her sister Jill, meanwhile, doesn't quite share the same sentiments.
As the intensity of the Vietnam War looms, the stories slowly start to lose their shine and war threatens to break a new generation apart.
At once compelling, captivating and ultimately hopeful, My Sister Jill has all the makings of an Australian classic. (Australiaplays.org)
