Bright Shiny and Green Night

Two one-act plays by Kit Lazaroo, directed by Jane Woollard.

Bright Shiny is a satire set in Bunnings and in depleted habitats, and Green Night is a dream play set in the mind and abdomen of the protagonist, Coral.

Bright Shiny & Green Night came out of a 4-year period of research and development exploring the intersection of human and non-human worlds. We investigated how actors might represent non-human characters and convey the experience of non-humans threatened by human activity. Our goal was to create poetic, humorous and non-didactic theatre which responded to the immense crisis of climate change and diminishing habitat.
