St John Cowcher has a reputation as one of Perth's most artistically ambitious performers. Ragnarokk is the Norse prediction for the end of times.
A stage filled with water. Two rocks, with one performer perched on each. A violinist, visible, but simultaneously blended into the background of the stage. A melancholic song, echoing throughout the room. This is how Two Canaries begins.
Elise Wilson and Samantha Nerida, who have penned two very different but very thoughtful pieces currently showing at the Blue Room: Floor Thirteen and See You Next Tuesday. We were lucky enough to get the chance to delve into their brains and discuss how these beautiful works were made.
Presented by Marshall Stay, Floor Thirteen is a stylised mystery that will keep you engaged for the entire hour.
See You Next Tuesday explores the highs and lows of teenage romance with no judgement and full empathy.
Testoni knows stories are anything but silly. She gives a voice and a face to a Victorian-era girl who is graceful and fierce, young in her curiosity, but wise in her insight.
This is the story of a girl... who loved stories but didn't like her own world! Written and directed by Scott McArdle and embodied by the magnificent team at Second Chance Theatre, with musical prodigy Georgina Cramond on keys, there is never a dull moment in Josephine!
This two-person play can only be described as an experience. What they brought was a boundary-pushing, uproariously funny night of dark slapstick comedy at its finest.
A visceral and rollercoaster-esque experience, this show will grab you by your memory and pull you down the rabbit-hole. It asks you to become all ears for just an hour; sit forward, and listen up.

Of all the intriguing shows The Blue Room Theatre are putting on this year, Second Chance Theatre's Laika: A Staged Radio Play is certainly one of the most interesting. We were privileged enough to talk to the show's writer, director and lighting designer Scott McArdle to get a better grasp on this fascinating project.
Tamagotchi Reset is kind of like this amalgam of a Bill Wurtz video, a lecture, an argument, and some very interesting (albeit obscure) historical storytelling. The writing shines in this piece, and the Blue Room, the sound, the lighting; these all help to make sure that what is said gets through to the audience.
