THE BLUE HOUSE
By Gaia Fay Lambert
Blue Elephant Theatre
7th June - 25th June 2022
Alex, Billie and Charles live in the same house but they never see each other. Charles’ wife of 50 years has passed away. Billie is reeling from heartbreak. Alex’s dad recently took his own life, and now he’s facing his own depression.
Gaia Fay Lambert’s moving debut play is a series of interweaving monologues. It blends poetry with theatre as its three characters attempt to articulate universal experiences of loneliness, loss and longing. The Blue House looks to provide the audience with hope, healing and solidarity after some of the most turbulent and lonely years in living memory.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
