'Matriarch is a dynamic one woman show that illuminates the strength and resilience of four generations of Gumbaynggirr women from the 1940s to the present day. Indigenous actress, Sandy Greenwood, weaves a compelling story that explores cultural identity, the intergenerational effects of the stolen generation and what it means to be a fair-skinned black woman in modern Australia.'
