‘Bran Nue Day’ is a musical play that was written by Jimmy Chi, a singer and composer from Broome. It premiered at the Festival of Perth in February 1990 and later that year toured Australia. The story is about the travels of an adolescent Aboriginal boy who is searching for his identity. Although it covers many serious issues, the musical became well-known for being entertaining and funny. It played an important role in helping non-Aboriginal Australians to understand something of the lives of many Aboriginal people.
