Summary
Born in the slums of Melbourne in 1933, abandoned by his parents, bashed and bullied for being black, it's a wonder that Noel Tovey survived at all. Following his stint in Pentridge he turned his life around sailing to England to pursue his dream of becoming a dancer and actor. Returning to Australia in 1991, gave him the opportunity to connect more deeply with his Aboriginal heritage and contribute to the indigenous community. As well as sitting on various boards and committees and teaching, he has continued to find success as a writer and theatre director. In this intensely moving interview, Noel speaks with extraordinary candour and grace about his complex sense of identity and the forces and events that shaped him
