An Australian play written by playwright, Beatrix Christian, which tells the story of Evelyn Carr. who leaves her home town to come to Blackrock to work for Blue, a children's writer. Acting as mentor, Blue leads Evelyn on a journey of self-discovery that is magical, sensuous and frightening (5 acts, 2 men, 4 women).
