Whitefella Yella Tree (Griffin Theatre Company)


Griffin Theatre Company will present the world premiere of multi award-winning playwright Dylan Van Den Berg's heartbreaking story about love, Country and Blak queerness, Whitefella Yella Tree, at the SBW Stables Theatre from 19th August to 23rd September.In the early 19th century, two teenage boys meet under a lemon tree to exchange information about the whitefellas that have begun to appear. After a rough start, a fragile friendship fruits into a heady romance.If history would just unfurl a little differently, the boys might have a beautiful future ahead of them. But Ty and Neddy are poised on the brink of a world that is about to change forever. Ty is River Mob. Neddy is Mountain Mob. And the earth they stand together on is about to be declared 'Australia'.Starring Helpmann Award-winner Guy Simon (First Love is the Revolution, Wakefield) and Callan Purcell (Hamilton, Bran Nue Dae), and nurtured through the Griffin Studio residency program, Whitefella Yella Tree is gripping tale exploring the impact of colonisation on the queer Aboriginal identities.
