Red Sky Morning
by Tom Holloway
Tom Holloway’s award winning Red Sky Morning is a very funny, very warm and ultimately heartbreaking play that explores identity, dislocation and the need to connect. Three separate monologues by a father, a mother and their teenage daughter are interwoven throughout the course of one life-changing day. Red Sky Morning’s form is as intriguing as its content. The play continues Holloway’s trademark combination of linguistic experimentation with a robust Australian vernacular, pushing the boundaries of theatrical communication. It won the 2009 Green Room Award for Best New Australian Writing.
“PLAY OF THE YEAR...succeeds on every level... Tom Holloway’s script is tight - hilarious and frequently heartrending - and performances from David Whiteley, Sarah Sutherland and Erin Dewar are pitch-perfect... a complex, urgent production that deserves to live on.” Sunday Age, John Bailey
“Breathtaking...testament to one of the rising stars of Australian theatre.” The Age, Martin Ball
“Sheer virtuosity...masterful... a remarkable theatrical experience.” On Stage and Walls, Michael Magnusson
“Brilliant…Red Sky Morning is the product of a year of readings, workshops and rewrites. And it shows. It hits the stage sprinting. It’s fully formed, impressively set and finely tuned.” Herald Sun, Chris Boyd
