The Pool

Presented in association with Perth Festival.

THEATRE THAT MAKES A SPLASH.

A mother tries to fix a fractured relationship with her adult daughter.
Two loved-up teenagers find privacy in a lie to their parents.
The manager faces a messy mistake from one of her employees.

Bombies in the deep end while the lifeguard isn’t looking, water aerobics classes, hot chips and choc milk, The Pool is an exploration of life as we know it and a celebration of our public spaces that create community. This is theatre like you’ve never seen – or heard! – before.

As part of the show's finale we invite you to join the cast in the pool for a brief aqua aerobics session.

As seating is on concrete bleachers, please bring a cushion along for your comfort. For more information about seating, aqua aerobics, transport, and food and beverage options, please click here.
