Goldisocks and the Three Koalas is a play that touches on gender roles and expectations that can be placed on children to live out their parents' dreams, regardless of whether it conflicts with their own dreams and talents. Also deals with the pressures that can be put on children when decisions are made for them. It explores how they can lack a means of communicating their point of view, while continuing to obey their parents' wishes. Author: Jacquelin Melilli
