 From the pen of award winning playwright Wayne Tunks comes “Silvertop Ash”, a haunting new drama for the 30th Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival. It plays at the Riverside Theatres from February 14 to 23, 2008.
Tunks’s stellar career has featured many successes, including “The Subtle Art of Flirting” (a three season sell out), “We’ll Always Have Wagga”, “Go West” and last year’s Christmas hit, “Hell Hath No Fury”. Described as “Sydney’s most prolific dramatist”, Tunks is excited to debut “Silvertop Ash”, one of his most personal plays to date.
Hamish is a 17 year old from Mittagong whose parents don’t seem to understand him. The school bully seems to be gunning for him and his best friend Aaron wants more from him than he may be able to give. Silvertop Ash is the story of one boy’s struggle for acceptance.
Directed by Felicity Burke (Nasty Little Secrets), the cast of six includes seasoned theatre professionals, Janine Penfold (Birthdays, Christmas & other Family Disasters) and Peter Flett (STC’s 12 Angry Men in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) are Hamish’s parents and Wayne Tunks (The Bridesmaid Must Die! / Unrequited) is the Detective determined to discover the truth. The younger cast includes NIDA graduate Ben Gerrard (as Hamish) and newcomers Nicholas Baldas (as the bully) and Samuel Faull (as Hamish’s best friend Aaron).
