The Noongar language of the southwest of Western Australia is a critically endangered language, impacted by settler-colonialism and suppressed until the 1970s. This book contains the complete play, a glossary, and chapters outlining the process of creating and then producing a play on a professional stage with a Noongar cast working as both language learners and performers, where song became their catalyst to success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePremiering to critical acclaim at the Perth Festival 2020, \u003cem\u003eHecate\u003c\/em\u003e is a ground-breaking and audacious adaptation of Shakespeare's \u003cem\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/em\u003e in the Noongar language and from a Noongar perspective. The project, in its early stages, involved the development and presentation of Sonnets in Noongar, a selection of sonnets as part of the World Shakespeare Festival at the Globe Theatre in 2012 in London.
