You have to look at dramatic forms, styles and conventions. try think how it engages the audience, such as the issues of the past and how the audience can empathise through the characters with dialogue, lighting, sound. I'll give you some features of the play:

- forcible removal of indigenous children
- loss of family
- loss of heritage
- Isolation
- Racism
- Loss of culture
- Hope
- Identity
- Innocence stolen/childhood
- Authority, talk how Jane Harrison uses these issues and concerns to make an impact to the audience...

talk about the chanting, voice overs etc. Goodluck

I need to compare Stolen with Life Without Me - has anyone done this combination?
