When planning your November this year make sure you don’t miss Tender, an evocative, mysterious and astonishingly sophisticated first play from young Australian playwright Nicki Bloom. A haunting examination of love, loss and grief, the production was a smash hit during its debut Sydney season last year.
Sarah can’t remember what happened in the gardens. Her memory is fractured, her husband Michael seems barely present and her parents-in-law, Yvonne and Patrick, are losing patience. What is it that she has lost and can she get it back? As we jump between events before and after that night in the gardens, it becomes clear that Sarah’s scars run deep.
A close study of the nature of love and family dynamics, Tender tackles themes of memory, time, love and loss through a variety of dramatic conventions. A poetic, mysterious and haunting play, Tender is “a moving exploration of the nature of intense love.” (Sydney Morning Herald).
After an incredibly successful debut season in Sydney this exciting new work will be at the Hume Building Society Butter Factory Theatre Wodonga from October 4-9.
Tender is the winner of the 2006 The Adrian Consett Stephen Memorial Prize and the 2007 Inscription Chairman’s Award for Best Play.
