Maggie Stone

Meet Maggie, a hard-hearted small loans officer who doesn’t owe the world a thing. That is until she finds her fate unexpectedly intertwined with that of the Deng Family. After refusing the plea for an $800 loan, Maggie learns of the consequences that follow, leaving her indebted to a family left behind.

Maggie learns first-hand the politics of charity, for even favours require gratitude, investment requires returns and an outstanding debt awaits satisfaction.

“I became fascinated by the hidden world of debt and debt recovery – because money is not something we like to talk about, despite the fact it rules our lives” says playwright Caleb Lewis. Maggie Stone asks us questions around the nature of giving and receiving and the sometimes complex motives behind altruism.

Director Sandra Eldridge sees Maggie’s journey as one of “greater understanding and appreciation of the migrant experience, especially when faced with such discrimination and hostility as the Sudanese community are in this country.”

“Astutely incisive and often bitterly funny" - The Australian

"Maggie Stone is a powerful indictment of racial prejudice... A superb evening of thought and emotion provoking theatre that will stay
with audiences for a long time after." - Broadway World Australia
