The third set of shows for Perth’s Blue Room Theatre in 2021 are curated by an independent panel of artists, with four shows ranging from Shakespeare remixed to revolutions at a suburban house party.
‘Unbound’ is a bewitching collision of classical text and dynamic contemporary forms, sure to challenge everything you think you know about Shakespeare himself.
Then, boundaries of acceptable drinking will be pushed in ‘My Shout’, as you join four mates sharing their intimate stories of boozy nights and anxiety-fuelled hangovers. It’s a nuanced look at Australian drinking culture.
Toward the end of September is ‘Watch And Act’ a dark climate change comedy described as an audition tape to be Nigella Lawson’s emergency contact in a climate crisis. Katie reads emergency fire warnings on the radio for a job, but now the whole world is burning and her life is on fire.

Finally, ‘Love Letters To The Revolution’ pays homage to moments of change and movements in time. The show invites you to a house party where small uprisings and realisations explode in hope and frustrations.
Also, the Blue Room Bar is totally worth a pre – or post – show visit. The bar has been recently renovated and is open to all! What are you waiting for? Get out and experience the vibrancy of Perth’s independent theatre scene.
