About RISING: POV

Enter the mind’s eye of Bub, an 11-year-old girl who’s obsessed with documentary filmmaking. In the aftermath of a family breakdown, she turns to dramatised re-enactment to try to figure out what happened. Each night two new unrehearsed actors play the parents, while Bub (played with precocious verve by Edith Whitehead or Mabelle Rose) directs the action. The script is playful, heartfelt and funny. But the picture shifts with the whims of human impulse as actors respond live and unprepared. Bub wants to get to the bottom of her mum’s erratic behaviour. Can these two adults really answer the tough questions of a child?
