MORNING SACRIFICE

120 min feature film

Based on the stage play Morning Sacrifice by Dyphna Cusack

Stage play optioned

Set in the staff room of an all-girl school, Morning Sacrifice interrogates the stifling sexual morality of post-War Australia. The all female cast are divided by the conflict between a waning Victorian sensibility and the sexual freedom of the coming age.

The play is a powerful critique of how women’s sexuality was controlled by law, and hostility between women formed a barrier to emancipation.
