The Mary Stuart Tapes (2000)

Director John Gillies places Schiller's Mary Stuart (1800) in a contemporary context. Stalking through inner Sydney streets, she is an interminably wandering, banished, displaced ghost, beamed mischievously down under-a down under, suggesting more Joyce's use of the term. Stuart's disembodied voice conjoins eerily with Sydney's early colonial history and speaks to that peculiar Australian sense of belonging: of being out of place and out of voice.
