First Love is the Revolution
Bluestone Church Arts Space
10A Hyde Street Footscray VIC
Despite their killer instincts, a misfit teenager and a young fox fall in love. Torn apart by their complicated families and an ever-oppressive society, everything from morals to destiny is tested in this whirlwind romance. Comedic and scarily relatable, First Love is the Revolution is a zany portrait of finding shelter in others when chaos surrounds you.
VCA graduate Rita Kalnejais (Babyteeth) writes a blood-splattered play, a provocative Romeo and Juliet pushed to the deranged extremes.
Throw aside your prejudices and enter into a world of full moons and fluttering hearts, directed by Emma Drysdale (Every Second) and starring Madeleine Magee-Carr (Flit) and Sam Eade (Straight White Males), alongside an endlessly amusing ensemble cast. But remember, these violent delights have violent ends. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
