As the director and dramaturge for a fully mounted production of, Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron for a festival with a focus on Australian society I must select a relevant scene for an audience to promote the entire play. Ruby Moon was written in 2003 by Matt Cameron (1969), a Melbourne playwright who was heavily “influenced by headlines in the newspaper” regarding missing children which sparked many of his plot lines. His plays, in particular Ruby Moon, comment on the notion of a decimated community where there is no longer any communication between neighbours and how the suburbs are now deemed as unsafe and frightening. This is the paradox of Flaming Tree Grove, the street where Ruby Moon sets off to visit her grandmothers and is never seen again.…

Parents owe children protection, education, love, and many other important things. But children owe parents respect, love, and trustworthiness. “I was too ashamed, mom. I hid.” Mom pointed her chopsticks at me. “You see?” She said, “Right there. That’s exactly what I’m saying. You’re way too easily embarrassed. Your father and I are who we are. Accept it.” We can all agree that the parents hold up the heavier side of this conversation, but no one can argue that children owe important things to their parents. “One time I saw a tiny Joshua tree sapling growing not too far from the old tree. I wanted to dig it up and replant it near our house. I told Mom that I would protect it from the wind and water it every day so that it could grow nice and tall and straight. Mom frowned at me. "You'd be destroying what makes it special," she said. "It's the Joshua tree's struggle that gives it its beauty.” Parents need to give their children space to grow by themselves. The parent’s duty is to make sure the child grows up in a good environment with education. But the little things like giving a little leeway can make all the difference in the world for your child growing up. Parents also owe their children protection, although protection wasn’t always the top of their lists. Rex walls and Rose Mary knew that keeping their child safe was more important than themselves.…

There is an idea that says one will never fully understand another’s plight until he or she walks in their shoes. When watching the film Under the Same Moon, or La Misma Luna, viewers gain a sense of what it means to be an undocumented immigrant from Mexico in the United States. The audience travels many miles with nine-year-old Carlitos Reyes in his journey across the border to reunite with his mother Rosario, who is working without documentation in California to provide a better life in the United States for her son someday (Riggen, 2008). Viewers not only realize how risky it is to cross the border, but also observe a sense of white racial superiority in the United States through the characters’ points of view.…

The essay written by Jerri Cook titled Confessions of the World’s Worst Parent, is based on the book Free Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry written by author Lenore Skenazy (Cook). Cook provides similarities about raising her son and uses Skenazy’s experiences as they both point out the feeling of being judged by “good” parents because they gave their children the freedom to explore life without constant supervision. Cook shows the struggles between raising children the way she was raised and the way society wants them to be raised today. Cook explains to the audience in a humorous fashion the questions that all parents deal with, children and their freedom to explore and the paranoia that they will be hurt or taken. Presently the planet is dealing with the age of too much information, along with this comes misinformation and overinflated imaginations. Cook mentions that life for children was different when she was a child; children were left to their own devices and the parents trusted them to do the right thing and it did not do any harm (Cook). Cook explains throughout her that society may be producing a planet filled with paranoid parents and children…
