Nicki Bloom’s astonishing first play is a haunting examination of love, loss and grief.
Sarah can’t remember what happened in the gardens. Her memory is fractured, her husband Michael seems barely present and her parents-in-law, Yvonne and Patrick, are losing patience. What is it that she has lost and can she get it back?
As we jump between events before and after that fateful night in the gardens it becomes clear that the scars that Sarah carries run deep.
‘Tender
offers a moving exploration of the nature of intense love: in the living and in the memory, and in the everyday.’ Mark Hopkins, Sydney Morning Herald
'Tender
is the playwright Nicki Bloom's first play and complex characters, economic but engaging dialogue and non-linear narrative structure make it an impressive debut.' SMH
