Blueberry Play
"It's Jono's 18th tonight and you're going as a blueberry because the theme is
'childhood memories' and you want to look like Violet Beauregard from
Willy Wonka...but sluttier."
Being 17 is awkward. Having to
take care of your sick dad when you're 17 is another story.
Especially
when he keeps trying to shave his eyebrows off.
Originally
developed with Australian Theatre for Young People and shortlisted for the
2017 Griffin Award, Ang Collins' Blueberry Play will have its WA Premiere
after a smash season at Griffin Theatre's Batch Festival.
This new
play explores the high highs and the low lows of being a teenage girl in a
small town; a beautifully intimate portrait of adolescence, family life
and mental health.
"Blueberry Play is a moreish delicacy." Sydney
