Orange Thrower
National Theatre of Parramatta presents
Orange Thrower

30 Mar 2022 to 2 Apr 2022

While her folks are back in Johannesburg, Zadie is holding the family fort in the stucco suburban sprawl of Paradise. This means keeping her little sis away from bush doofsand smiling when her nice white neighbours try to touch her hair.

Then, in the middle of the night, someone starts pelting their house with oranges. Just once. Then twice. Then night after night after night. Maybe its nothing. Or maybe someone in Paradise wants them out.

A quintessential Aussie coming-of-age story, Orange Thrower provides a radically fresh perspective on a familiar genreand does so while chucking big, splattery questions at the Australian burbs. Kirsty Marillier has written a zinger of a first play, gilded with prestigious playwriting awards And if that wasnt impressive enough, Kirstys also starring as Zadieperforming her own poignant love letter to South African women. Grif-fave Zindzi Okenyo (Masquerade, Girl in Tan Boots) helms this big, juicy romp of citrus, displacement, and long-distance love.

Orange Thrower was developed through Griffin Studio and Sydney Theatre Companys Rough Draft program, and received support from Green Door Theatre Company.
