Griffin Theatre Company: Whitefella Yella Tree

26 September @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

First love: joyous, sweet and youthful. Two boys from neighbouring mobs, puffed up with teenage giddiness, poised on the edge of a world about to change. Their budding love taking root in Country that is about to be declared ‘Australia’.

In the early years of colonisation, a young Aboriginal man, Ty, sits under the knotted branches of a lemon tree. He is learning to be his mob’s storyteller, but for now he is a messenger sent to exchange information with a neighbouring clan group. It’s Neddy who shows up to share the news. When they look at each other, it’s tense, exciting, and strange – “as they fall in love with each other, we fall in love with them” (The Sydney Morning Herald).

Directed with subtlety and sophistication by Declan Greene and Wiradjuri and Worimi theatremaker Amy Sole, and featuring Pertame and Tiwi actor Joseph Althouse, Whitefella Yella Tree is “subtle, clever and straight to the heart” (ArtsHub).
