In our multicultural world, when is blood thicker than water? And which blood is your truth?
Angel is 17. He loves hanging out at the beach and catching a wave. Honey, the girl he is falling for, is an Anglo-Aussie like Ryder, his best mate through school. Angela’s dad is a Muslim from Iraq, his mum a second generation Italian-Australian.
When Ryder’s older brother Jax is released from prison there is pressure on Angel to choose between his two worlds. Is he an “Aussie” or a “Muzzo”. Faced with betrayal, he must decide between his family and the world he thought he belonged to.
All the Blood and All the Water won the Theatrelab/Inscription Holmes a’Court Award which entitled the play to a two-week workshop with Edward Albee.
