“Manila Takeaway”
Noonee DoronilaÂ’s new play "Manila Takeaway" tells the story of four Filipino women who came to Australia to marry. It portrays their experiences of migration, relationships, sadness and joys. It also demonstrates their resilience, humour and love.
It tells us about the precarious lives of these four women who come to live in the isolated mining town of Mt Isa, of their migration experiences, and their moments in the flowing stream of time.
It follows the heart rendering search for their destiny, traveling to other lands to realise their dreams and life obsession "Â…for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. Until death do us part."
The writerÂ’s script and direction contains authentic sounds, voice and colour of the culture developed in consultation with the Filipino communities in Mount Isa and in Canberra .
Four women from the Canberra Filipino community, and one male actor, perform these compelling stories in a landscape of heat and isolation.
“Manila Takeaway” has been well received by community and theatre professionals.
Writer / Director Noonee DoronilaÂ’s script and direction, maintains authentic sounds, voice and colour of the charactersÂ’ true stories. Script development involved community consultation with Filipino women in Mt Isa as well as here in Canberra.
