Blue

Getting older is inevitable, but growing up takes courage.

When Mark moved out of home for the first time, his mum started writing him letters – just checking in, staying in touch, keeping a gentle hold on her son. Until one letter brings news no one wants to hear.

Today, alone in his apartment on a quiet, ordinary morning, Mark needs to try and make some sense of his young life. He needs to work out how to go on with the day, his studies, and the fragility of living. He needs us to hear his story, and the story of his family.

A tender monologue written by proud Kamilaroi man, and Heartbreak High star, Thomas Weatherall, Blue is a life-affirming deep dive into a young person’s journey through life, loss, mental wellbeing and early adulthood.
