​Play Club March: Lemon Tree on Dreg Street, by Ames May Nunn
Mon 27 Apr
7.00pm - 9:00pm

​​“The dawn is almost dressed, still puttin’ on its socks, pullin’ up its undies. Night air still fuzzy in its throat. Somethin’s cooking. The juices are getting… juicy.”

​​Synopsis

​​​20-something misfits, Twiglet and Boots, live in a ramshackle house on the outskirts of suburbia, where buildings are just waiting to be gobbled up by developers. As Boots prepares to move out to work for their mum’s company, the pair is determined to make the most of summer while they can. But with an old Possum marrying their lemon tree, a vagabond Cowgirl officiating the ceremony, and a Vulture circling the property, things are bound to get interesting…

Incorporating elements of music, poetry, ritual and revelry, ‘Lemon Tree on Dreg Street’ is a heart-on-its-sleeve ode to those who slip through the cracks, a love letter to the places we make sacred, and a celebration of the deep human need for belonging.
