Identity and loneliness plagued her life.

A contemplative work on the life of Mollie Skinner, in her own words, Sparrow is a deeply personal and raw look at a woman caught between lives.

Feminist theatre company Tempest Theatre brings us this visceral and uncompromising portrayal of Mollie through storytelling, letters, telegrams and music, set against a background of World War, personal grief and forbidden love. A brand new WA work by Susie Conte based on her research at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.
