New Ghosts Theatre Company and the IGNITE Collective are excited to present their debut work BLUE CHRISTMAS at Kings Cross Theatre from the 11th - 22nd December 2019. A double bill featuring two new Australian plays by award winning playwrights Katy Warner and Gretel Vella, BLUE CHRISTMAS is the outcome of a year long development through New Ghosts' ground breaking initiative IGNITE Collective.
It's Christmas. Jess has treated her long-time, high-school friends with a holiday to a tropical paradise. Jess can do that sort of thing now. What was supposed to be a chance for them to reconnect is interrupted. Suddenly. Unexpectedly. Violently. Whisked away to the airport to wait for the next flight, there are no flights in or out. Six women wait as tension grows with the reality of what they've seen and what they've escaped sinks in. What is the right thing, the good thing, to do: stay or leave? They are good people, after all. Written by Katy Warner (Shortlisted for Theate503 Playwriting Award & the Green Room Award, winner of Melbourne Fringe Peoples Choice Award & WA Touring Award), Good People exposes the privilege of a millennial generation with humour, candor and a brutal lens. Arrogant twenty-something Edith seeks refuge in an inner-city women's shelter on Christmas Day. Over dinner, turkeys are served, stories are shared and truths are revealed.Videos
