Picture
Based on Kate Grenville’s meticulously researched, Booker nominated bestselling novel of the same title, The Secret River has been adapted into a landmark television mini-series by two of Australia’s most talented and internationally successful screenwriters Jan Sardi (Oscar nominated for Shine)and Mac Gudgeon. Through the deeply personal story of William and Sal Thornhill, early convict colonists in New South Wales, The Secret River dramatises the British colonisation of Australia in microcosm. The dispossession of Indigenous Australians is made comprehensible and ultimately heart-breaking as William Thornhill’s claim over a piece of land he titles ‘Thornhill’s Point’ on the Hawkesbury River brings his family and neighbours into a fight for survival with the traditional custodians of the land they are stealing. William Thornhill is driven by a poverty-fuelled life and a desperate need to provide a safe home for his beloved family in a strange, foreboding land. The Secret River is an epic tragedy in which a good man is compelled by desperation, fear, ambition and love for his family to participate in a crime of inhuman savagery. It allows an audience, two hundred years later, to have a personal insight into the dark heart of this nation’s foundation story. Directed by Daina Reid and produced by Stephen Luby, The Secret River is sure to be a landmark television event.

 

Cast Starring Oliver Jackson Cohen (Mr Selfridge, Raven, Dracula) and AACTA award winner Sarah Snook (Sisters of War, Not Suitable for Children (with Ryan Kwanten) and the upcoming films Predestination (with Ethan Hawke) and Ghosts.  Supported by Tim Minchin, Lachy Hulme, Genevieve Lemon and Trevor Jamieson.
