This year, a new hope arrives for the Currawongs: the Marngrook cousins, Sonny and Jayma. Nicknamed after the Aboriginal game that inspired AFL, their natural talent promises the team's best chance at bringing the flag home for the first time ever. What will come with that flag, however, is the cruel reminder of a far greater loss in this country's colonial history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNathan Maynard'\u003c\/strong\u003es \u003cem\u003e37\u003c\/em\u003e serves up a searing critique of Australia's relationship with sport, set within the era of Adam Goodes' war cry and the country's ensuing debate on racism. In the land of the fair go, the rules of the game will always be fairer for some than others. Who decides these rules, when not everyone wants to play clean? Can you possibly ever win, when the system is rigged against you?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Throws a disturbing spotlight on the ways in which this country profits from Indigenous culture without giving back in return ... sharp and formidable' \u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'So vitally relevant to us as a nation ... a truly funny, wildly entertaining piece of ensemble theatre ... with a proper sting in its tail' \u003cem\u003eArtsHub \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'I walked away from the show in awe of Maynard's ability to apply history to the stage' The Conversation\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 8.27 x 5.39 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 10, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43697860116615,"sku":"9781760629526","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/9a9gschIMN9781760629526.webp?v=1767430510","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/37-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
