ADAPTED BY RICHARD ROXBURGH AND JUSTIN MONJO,
FROM THE NOVEL BY TIM WINTON

15 MARCH – 16 APRIL

“God’s everywhere Ort. In everything. The trees, the ground, the water. Everything stinks of God, reeks of him.”

In the Western Australian town of Subiaco, 13-year-old Ort Flack is coming to terms with terrible changes in his world.

Long ago, his parents ‘dropped out’ to follow a hippie lifestyle. Now his father lies paralysed in a coma, his older sister is consumed by hate, his grandma exists in a fog of dementia and his once-carefree mother can’t cope.

For Ort, the struggle to understand the world around him draws him towards the supernatural. Lonely, frightened, loving unconditionally and full of optimism, he becomes obsessed with the belief that somewhere ‘up there’ someone or something watches over them all, controlling their destiny, and that his father can be cured.

Then one day a mysterious stranger appears and bewitches them all.

Tim Winton’s novel about a young boy’s experiences of love, loss, faith and family has been adapted into an evocative piece of theatrical magic-realism embracing the author’s rich colloquial language and infused with humour, spirituality and humanity. + PRESS + PICS
