An outstanding first play by rising star Thomas Weatherall, Blue dives deep into the beauty, joy and pain of growing up.

Mark has always wanted to be a writer, just like his mum. When Mark moves out of his childhood home, his mum starts writing him letters, just checking in, keeping a gentle hold on her son. Until one letter brings news nobody wants to hear. 

Written by Balnaves Fellow, AACTA and Logie Award-winner and Kamilaroi man Thomas Weatherall, fresh from his breakout roles in Netflix’s Heartbreak High and ABC’s Deadlock, Blue is a tender monologue that explores struggles of love and loss. It’s the perfect vehicle for one of ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog’s most talented young actors, Wiradjuri man Callan Purcell, who recently starred as Aaron Burr in Hamilton.

Directed by Deborah Brown, the production brings the ocean onto the stage as

a tragic and healing force through video design by David Bergman, acclaimed for his ingenious film work on The Picture of Dorian Gray, and set design by Helpmann Award-winner Jacob Nash.

State Theatre Company South ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog brings this powerful and moving play to Adelaide following a hit premiere season at Belvoir St Theatre.
