Synopsis A battle cry from the front line of Australian identity
All Breythe ever wanted was to be an actor, but this isn’t how he imagined his first big television gig – as a young Aboriginal man, being the face of a disastrous misfire of an advertisement that will get him roasted by his mob. When a messenger bird suddenly brings Breythe tragic tidings from his family, it spurs him on a journey of grief and duty. Returning home to Kalgoorlie, he is thrust headlong into family conflict and the reality of what it means to be an Indigenous youth in today’s Australia.
Rising star Meyne Wyatt’s debut play is as riveting and unflinchingly honest as his stage presence. Urgent, wryly funny and politically incendiary, City of Gold is a call for change that will sound out for years to come. Representation

Welcome

Amanda Jolly Executive Director
City of Gold is a play that makes us proud. It goes to the heart of
what it means for Queensland Theatre to be a leader in our industry and our community. It affirms our commitment to new writing and confirms our belief in the power of theatre to hold a mirror up to our society - especially when the reflected image is painful. City of Gold is storytelling at its most urgent and important. Drawing on his own life, Meyne shares the challenges faced by many young Indigenous Australians: how to forge a path in a twenty-first century society, while staying connected to tradition. Using recent events in Kalgoorlie, his home town, as a backdrop, Meyne has crafted a remarkable play that speaks to the power of family, the pain of loss and the raging anger at injustice. It is by turns controversial, divisive, hilarious and shocking but always powerful, and always unforgettable. Equally inspiring is the launch of a vital new playwriting voice. This is Meyne Wyatt’s first play, and unsurprisingly his writing is as electric as the acting that has won him acclaim on stage and screen. Moreover, by writing and performing in City of Gold, Meyne joins a worldwide trend towards bringing audiences more immediate, authentic and ultimately powerful experiences. Joining Meyne are some of Queensland’s finest creative artists. The play is directed by Queensland Theatre’s Cairns-based Resident Dramaturg Isaac Drandic, with dramaturgy by our former Associate Artistic Director Paige Rattray.
The set is designed by Cairns-based Simone Tesorieri and Simona Cosentini (My Name is Jimi and The Longest Minute) with skillful lighting by Jason Glenwright and sound by Tony Brumpton. Two outstanding actors, Mathew Cooper and Maitland Schnaars, are making their Queensland Theatre debut in this play alongside Christopher Stollery, who returns after many years away, and familiar Queensland Theatre faces Jeremy Ambrum, Shari Sebbens and Anthony Standish. Queensland Theatre is proud to be staging this world premiere work, a co-production with Sydney’s Griffin Theatre Company. Its development has been supported by Playwriting Australia as part of its Muru Salon and National Script Workshop programs, and supported by the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund. We thank them for making it possible to bring this story to life. City of Gold is a once-in-a-generation story that we hope will linger with you long after you see it play out. Sam and Amanda
Writer’s Note It is Thursday, 13th of June 2019, I am in the third week of
rehearsal for my first ever play, written by me: City of Gold. I am the lead actor of the show, because of course I am, and I just so happen to be writing this, three days shy of my father’s birthday. Meyne Wyatt Writer
This Sunday, 16th of June, my Dad would’ve turned 68. He passed October 24th 2015. A week prior to his death, I flew back to Perth from Sydney, to see him. I was in rehearsals for another play at the time. Sensing the end was near, he said to me, ‘Don’t stop, keep doing what you’re doing, no one is going it to give to you, you have to take it...’
So, I went and got the skills I thought I needed. Learnt the basics of structure and whatnot. There was no lack of ideas, there was a plethora. And I’ll admit the first few absolutely sucked! But it’s about the process not the result, as I found out (Thanks Sopa!). You’ll get something out of it, even if you think those initial ideas aren’t that good.
Four days after he died, with those words ringing in my head, I returned to work. I wanted to honour his wishes. They say hindsight is 20/20. Well, that decision turned out to be a mistake. I gave it my best. I was there physically but mentally and emotionally, I was somewhere else. But, you live and you learn.
In and around that time, a 14-year-old Indigenous boy, who also happens to be a distant relative, was run down by a white man in a 4WD in my hometown. He was killed almost instantly. The injustice that surrounded and enveloped the case that followed, left me and many Indigenous people in Australia and people around the world enraged. As all the cases of injustice that still plague this country do.
Throughout the 18-month period following, I had my first encounter with depression. I fell out of love with acting, I lost my passion and my career was in a holding pattern. I was disillusioned with the industry. I read and auditioned for roles that left me dissatisfied. I was not seeing me. I was not hearing my voice. Still, those words were at the forefront of my mind. That’s where the seed of an idea began to grow. If I’m not going up for the roles I want, I’ll write one! But I had no experience in the field. It was always something in the back of my mind, like I would pursue it later in life. But I felt it was so urgent, that it had to be now or never.
So, I did what many first-time writers do and are encouraged to do. I wrote from a place of experience. I wrote about my grief for the loss of my Dad. I wrote about my work, in this crazy business they call the entertainment industry. I wrote about the place I call the City of Gold, Kalgoorlie! And I wrote about the biggest stain that afflicts this country to this day: racism and my never-ending battle with it.

‘I hope you like it. I hope you hate it. Just don’t feel anything in between… Because there are things in this world that are wrong and we all have a responsibility to try and make them right.’ – Meyne
Kalgoorlie, the name, is the bastardised version of the Wongutha word Karlkula, which is a fruit native to the Goldfield’s region of Western Australia. It’s commonly referred to by the non-Indigenous population, as the silky pear or the bush banana. I have fond memories of growing up there. It’s my mother’s country and my family and extended families live there still. The bush that surrounds the town is absolutely beautiful. But the town itself and the people that live there can be ugly. In 2002 my father declared, on record, backed by studies performed by UWA (University of Western Australia) that ‘Kalgoorlie was the most racist town in Australia!’ I know, racism is not a measurable thing. It doesn’t matter how big or small, there’s no difference, racism is racism. But at the time my Dad was Chairperson of the Goldfields Land and Sea Council and he battled with it daily, so I can see where he’s coming from. You’d have to come up with a very convincing argument to make me believe otherwise, for the racial tension that remains in the air still has a bitter aftertaste. I’ve grown up with it. I experience racism on a weekly basis. Even where I live now, Sydney, and I am sick of it. I have worked as an actor now for nine years, and in that time I have been fortunate enough to have worked pretty consistently. I understand because of that I have a responsibility to represent my community. I have a platform and I must use it. That’s what this play is. This play is me doing just that.
Representation
City of Gold is an act of rebellion. It is a revolt. It is me using my platform to hold a mirror to Australia and ask it, do you like what you see? There is no one thing that I want audiences to take away from this play. I ask questions. I don’t give answers. I attempt to speak truth. Warts and all. I am not a perfect person. Nobody is. I simply ask, have things changed? Why? Why not? I am not arrogant enough to know the answer to the questions I pose in this play. I don’t have the solution. But hopefully the questions audience members ask each other after the play gives the glimmer of hope and change that is so desperately needed. My father fought racism and for Aboriginal rights his whole life. So, did my mother. My mother is a prolific artist, that’s where the creative genes come from. This play is my love letter to them. To Brian Wyatt and Sue Wyatt. My favourite line in the play is ‘I have two great parents!’ Because I do. Did. Now I have one. I am here because they worked all their lives for me to get here. I reap the rewards of their hard work. This play is my hard work. I hope you like it. I hope you hate it. Just don’t feel anything in between… Because there are things in this world that are wrong and we all have a responsibility to try and make them right. Meyne

Director’s Note Hello, my name is Isaac Drandic and I have had
the privilege of directing the show you are about to watch. I hope my program notes below offer something useful to your theatre experience. Isaac Drandic Director
City of Gold, is a profound expression from deep within. This is a complex piece of work. There are many contradictions. Sounds a bit like life. It is raw and unyielding but it is also thoughtful and delicate. Much like the characters and the world in which the play is set. There is love and anger, grief and rage but there’s so much more. So I’ll try to dig a little deep. The world of the play intimately and sometimes intensely reflects the world we live in as First Nations People (spare a thought for the actors who are ‘performing’ this show night after night). The ongoing impact of 230 years of colonisation, unresolved social and economic conflict is present in this urgent work. It is driven by fire and the need to spark something. However, underlying this drive, the play is very much about family and how precious it is to be part of a community, and it is ultimately love that fuels the engine room for this work. Many people who will see this production might agree the country we share has the potential to be so much more than this. Just being here means you are interested in the issues and challenges faced by Aboriginal people. You may be aligned with some of the politics and some of the dreams we have for a better future. You may be angry and frustrated at the lack of leadership from our government to make change. You may just want to know more. Many non-Indigenous people have asked ‘what can I do’ – to help to improve the situation for Indigenous people – the answer I offer is as simple as … ‘listen’. Listening is a powerful act.
Feeling heard has the capacity to resolve the most volatile of situations. The harshest of conflicts. It has the capacity to heal and this simple act cannot be underestimated. Most of us have probably offered this piece of advice to others in conflict situations but sometimes forget to practise it ourselves. Maybe it’s not a matter of forgetting. Maybe it takes too much energy. Maybe it’s too hard. But this is what City of Gold is asking you, our audience. It asks you to give your time and your energy. It asks you to say it’s not too hard. It asks you to be courageous and to listen, especially when it gets difficult, to venture beyond the surface of its hardened exterior, peel back its layers, peek behind the curtain. To listen deep. City of Gold is a statement from the heart. I hope it’s received in the spirit in which it is intended. Isaac

ABOUT GRIFFIN
“If you’ve ever sat in the theatre and thought, ‘those actors are just too damn far away’, then Griffin is for you.” – Concrete Playground Located in the heart of Kings Cross—in the historic SBW Stables Theatre—Griffin has been dedicated to bringing the best Australian stories to the stage for the better part of four decades.
GRIFFIN THEATRE COMPANY 13 CRAIGEND ST KINGS CROSS NSW 2011 02 9332 1052 INFO@GRIFFINTHEATRE.COM.AU GRIFFINTHEATRE.COM.AU SBW STABLES THEATRE 10 NIMROD ST KINGS CROSS NSW 2011 BOOKINGS GRIFFINTHEATRE.COM.AU 02 9361 3817
We’re passionate about theatre that’s written by Australians, about Australians, for Australians to enjoy. Iconic Aussie plays such as The Boys, Holding the Man and The Heartbreak Kid all had their world premieres at Griffin. And many of our nation’s most celebrated artists started their professional careers with us—Cate Blanchett, David Wenham, Michael Gow and Louis Nowra to name a few. Homegrown inspiration. By you, for you.
Griffin acknowledges the generosity of the Seaborn, Broughton & Walford Foundation in allowing it the use of the SBW Stables Theatre rent free, less outgoings, since 1986.
