Overview
The latest production of National Theatre of Parramatta promises some seriously captivating storytelling. Running from Thursday, July 27, until Saturday, August 5, Fade is penned by playwright Tanya Saracho (Vida, Looking, How to Get Away With Murder) and follows the tale of Lucia, played by Camila Ponte Alvarez (RFDS, Nothing Like the Sun), a Mexican-born writer who embarks on her first TV writing job.
Lucia navigates the trials of an all-white and male writing room by befriending the janitor, Abel — played by Caspar Hardaker (Interceptor, Poker Face), a fellow outsider in their Anglo-centred world. As their friendship blossoms, Abel's storytelling seems to make its way into Lucia's scripts – providing a multilayered narrative that is both funny and deeply insightful.
Fade serves as an incisive commentary on the challenges of breaking through as an outsider and how far one is willing to go for success. Prepare to dive into the complexities of class, race, and power. It's a must-see for any theatre fan.
Fade opens on Thursday, July 27, and runs until Saturday, August 5. For more information and to book your tickets, visit the website.
