My Name is Sud
My Name Is Sud (Soo-d)

A family has escaped the conflicts of war in Sudan face the conflicts of freedom in Sydney. Akoi dreams of being a writer. Her brother Machar struggles for a new identity. Their mother Kuei, fears losing her son to the "streets of Blacktown" and to his Australian girlfriend.
"My skin is black, my eyes are black. How can my parents fear I will lose my "Africaness", I will always be black but in my own way."
Blacktown's emerging Sudanese community speak for themselves in this exciting work. Written by a youth ensemble of first time theatre writers, mentored by Blacktown Arts Centre's African Theatre Project.
Writers: Yuol Yuol, Akoi Majak, Monica Kualba and John Garang.
