“…beautifully crafted and wonderfully performed…”  
Sydney Morning Herald

An exuberant and moving celebration of personal identity and family, Page 8  follows the rollercoaster ride of Aboriginal actor and composer David Page’s early years. Music, Super-8 home movies and drag reveal a life filled with both love and heartache, from his humble beginnings as the eighth of 12 Page children in a suburban housing estate, to his rise and fall as a child star, and finally to his ‘coming out’ as a young adult. Page 8 is directed by David’s brother Stephen, the artistic director for Bangarra Dance Theatre, and co-written by acclaimed Australian author and playwright Louis Nowra. Described by critics as “a born entertainer”, Page is an engaging performer who shares with humour and flair the story of his extraordinary life.
