Event description

Dylan Van Den Berg / Griffin Theatre Company

Under a lemon tree in the early 19th century, two teenage boys – Ty of the River Mob and Neddy of the Mountain Mob – meet, sparking a fragile friendship that blossoms into a heady romance.

As the English loom and the land is poised to be declared ‘Australia’, their love unfolds against a backdrop of seismic change.

Written by acclaimed Palawa playwright Dylan Van Den Berg and directed by Declan Greene and Amy Sole, this Griffin Theatre Company production features Pertame and Tiwi actor Joseph Althouse alongside Barrd, Yamatji, Noongar, Bunuba and Ngadju actor Danny Howard.

A moving depiction of young queer love, Whitefella Yella Tree is “subtle, clever and straight to the heart” (ArtsHub).
