Now a classic of Aboriginal drama, No Sugar is the spirited story of the Millimurra family’s stand against government ‘protection’ in 1930s Australia. ‘The native must be helped in spite of himself, wrote the Chief Protector A.O. Neville, with the wisdom of the day. ‘The end in view will justify the means.’ The play received international acclaim when it represented Australia at the World Theatre Festival in Canada in 1986.
