Pickle Jam

10 May - 18 May

Holmes à Court Gallery @ no.10

Eight of Perth’s hottest writers respond to gems of existing texts in this smorgasbord of contemporary voices.

Pickle Jam

A FEAST OF WORDS, WIT AND WAXING LYRICAL

Deep in the heart of Perth’s Pickle District, lies the Holmes à Court gallery – home of Pickle Jam; where pen meets performance.

Eight of WA’s hottest writers respond to excerpts from established plays and books, using them as the springboard for original mini scripts.

Pickle Jam gives audiences a taste of the artistic process, as you peer into the kitchen of creation and witness short presentations of new ideas, alongside the original sources they’re responding to.

Split into two separate programs over two weekends, each week features a fresh lineup of stripped-back performances from talented WA artists.

Pickle Jam is a taster of Western Australia’s playwriting landscape and an insight into the beginnings of great ideas.

Due to a clash of scheduling, Ebony McGuire, who was previously advertised as a writer on the project, is unable to be apart of this year's presentation. Writer, Barb Hostalek has now joined the writing team.
