Directed by award-winning theatre maker Liv Satchell, Shoelace Chaser is a warm and feel-good story for anyone who’s ever been a teenager. Starring Leigh Lule and Zoe Boesen, Madelaine Nunn’s moving new play sensitively explores responsibilities to loved ones, the untold strength of care work and the courage to know when to lean on others for help.
Being 17 is hard enough – add caring for your mum to the mix, and Thea’s juggling act is nothing short of Olympic. Smart, self-sufficient and secretly just holding it together, she’s spent the last two years keeping her life under wraps. No one knows she’s a carer. Not even Syd, her endlessly chatty new running partner who pushes her to pursue a university athletics scholarship and dream of something more. But chasing that future means leaving her mum behind – and the last time Thea tried that, things didn’t quite go to plan.
Developed through Melbourne Theatre Company’s NEXT STAGE Writers’ Program, with the support of the Playwrights Giving Circle. Presented by The Cube Wodonga with Melbourne Theatre Company.
The show features Zoe Boesen, Leigh Lule and Elliot Wood, directed by Liv Satchell. Set and costume designer is Bianca Pardo, lighting designer Thomas Roach, and Tom Backhaus is the composer and sound designer.
