Whitefella Yella Tree at Sydney Theatre Company tickets
About Whitefella Yella Tree
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’.
Following a celebrated premiere season at Griffin Theatre Company, this production is the Sydney Theatre Company debut of Palawa playwright, Dylan Van Den Berg. Directed with subtlety and sophistication by Declan Greene and Wiradjuri and Worimi theatremaker Amy Sole, and featuring Pertame and Tiwi actor Joseph Althouse (The Visitors), Whitefella Yella Tree is “subtle, clever and straight to the heart” (ArtsHub).
