IF ONLY THE LONELY WERE HOME

$5.40 – $15.00

The Lonely hasn't been seen for a long time. His house stands quiet, on the furthest edge of town. So everyone brings to his doorstep the things they love – a photo of the wind, a song you sing in cars, a feeling of ferris wheels, some lightning in a jar. The Lonely is ignoring them all. But one girl stands at his door and won't go away. ‘The Tasmanian writer has a quirky, audacious, wonderfully unfettered way of looking at life that is fully in tune with children's thinking. His verbal imagery is delectable… A tale with charm, humour and real feeling' (The Stage, England).

Commissioned by Tutti Frutti Productions (UK) and premiered (with national tour) in 2009. Directed by Wendy Harris

REVIEW: IF ONLY THE LONELY WERE HOME

CHARLES HUTCHINSON, YORK THEATRE ROYAL PRESS, 3 APRIL 2009

"The children are enchanted, enjoying the winding drama and its theme of loneliness, loss, friendship and emotional expression, and the warm, colourful performances."

REVIEW: IF ONLY THE LONELY WERE HOME

KEVIN BERRY, THE STAGE, 1 APRIL 2009

"Jason James plays The Lonely, a youngster who cannot make friends. He would dearly love to be friends with Penny, played by Megan Brooks. Then someone falls off a bike, Lonely’s dog is blamed and Lonely stays home rather than face the world. Will he ever come out?"
