Dixon and Daughters by Deborah Bruce

"If this house could speak…"

An Australian premiere.

When Mary returns home after serving time in prison, she walks back into a household filled with hostility where her daughters are grappling with their past. Long-hidden truths emerge, exposing a history that has fractured and changed their lives. Each woman must confront not only what they have been through, but what they’ve done to survive.

Dixon and Daughters is a vital and timely work. Balancing heartbreak with moments of surprising humour, this is a story about the courage it takes to confront pain, the complexity of forgiveness and the possibility of breaking generational cycles. Fierce, moving and unflinchingly honest, Dixon and Daughters is a tribute to the strength of women and the messy, painful path of healing.
