Whisper White
Whisper White is a new piece of theatre which had its inaugural production
season in September 2019 in Fremantle. Performed to sold out audiences and
great reviews, this is a play you don't want to miss. On a hot summer
evening, Marcus and his five friends gather to celebrate Australia Day.
They share gourmet food, beer and a smorgasbord of exotic cocktails. In
the warm space of friendship, much frivolity and rapid-fire conversations
abound. As the night unfolds, contested opinions and political debates
crisscross the dinner table, giving glimpses of contemporary Australia's
changing identity. Two years later, Marcus takes center stage to vividly
recount the events of that evening and what made it such a life changing
experience for him.
