Adapted by Peta Murray from the book by Tim Winton

One of Tim Winton’s most personal and quintessentially Western Australian stories, Blueback depicts the life of a young boy, Abel, and his mother, their relationship with the environment and their desire to protect and preserve the natural habitat of the place they call home.

Blueback will nourish your heart and the beautiful poetry will resonate with you long after you leave the theatre. This award winning production is an underwater menagerie of exquisite puppetry and an extraordinary celebration of the Western Australian coastline from one of WA’s most beloved authors.

With a focus on the environment and sustainability, this production reminds us all that everyone has the power to make an impact.
