Black Swan's latest production, Blue, has opened at the State Theatre Centre to a standing ovation and glowing audience reactions.
Written by Heartbreak High star Thomas Weatherall and directed by Ian Wilkes, Blue is a raw, emotionally charged coming-of-age story exploring grief, identity, and the weight of unspoken truths.
It's brought to life by Owen Hasluck, a proud Whadjuk Noongar man making his main stage debut, in a one-man performance that audiences are calling 'extraordinary', 'phenomenal', and 'captivating'.
With evocative lighting, sound, and a strikingly simple yet versatile set, Blue delivers a production that's as visually compelling as it is emotionally resonant.
The season runs until this Sunday in the Studio Underground. Tickets are on sale now at
