BLACK SWAN STATE THEATRE COMPANY OF WA PRESENTS
In collaboration with the Blue Room Theatre
Playthings
Written and directed by Scott McArdle. Originally Produced and Presented by Second Chance Theatre.
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE BLUE THEATRE
Lucy and Arnold are 13. Both outcasts. Both have seen hard times. Both irrevocably changed from one adventure into the bush looking for a dying kangaroo. Now they must navigate a wasteland of broken hearts, peed pants and carrot spew. It’s homework, hormones and homicide.
A hit of The Blue Room Theatre 2019 season, this modern suburban coming-of-age story explores how we hurt each other, how we help those that are hurting, and how your music taste is never better than when you’re a teenager.
HEARTFELT, EFFECTIVE STORYTELLING THAT DRAWS YOU IN AND DEMANDS THAT YOU CARE - Stage Whispers
Hey d*#kface
I know where to find a dead kangaroo. There’s one in the bush near my house. Want to see it? I’m going tonight. Sneaking out my window. Unless you’re scared. Are you scared? Are you nervous? No?
Meet me at the fallen tree.
