BLUEBERRY PLAY Comes to The Blue Room Theatre

This January, The Blue Room Theatre's Summer Nights Program and Mask a Pony Theatre present the Western Australian premiere of Blueberry Play by the exciting Ang Collins as part of WA Fringe Festival.

Blueberry Play was initially developed as part of ATYP's Intersection in February 2017 and was subsequently shortlisted for the 2017 Griffin Award in NSW. In 2018, it received its premiere at Griffin Theatre Company as part of the inaugural Batch Festival and was a part of Old Fitz's Underground program in Sydney.

Blueberry Play explores the high highs and the low lows of being a teenage girl in a regional Australian town. Playwright-to-watch Ang Collins has crafted a beautifully intimate story about family life, adolescence, and mental and physical illness.

"I sat down to read this play, and was transported to a bittersweet place thick with the longing and nostalgia of young adulthood. I'd stumbled across a magic 3D play that I could hear and taste and see my own story in. We have a startlingly moving and funny text of gentle teenage naiveté - a mess of a life that aches to be lived, a young woman navigating the comedy, tragedy and lawless wild west of not only of puberty, but the upside down world of parents regressed into children that need care." - Sheridan Harbridge, Director (Calamity Jane & Sugar House at Belvoir Theatre, Sydney)
