BLOOM
When Mrs MacIntyre, the scheming owner of Pine Grove aged care home, cuts costs by offering uni students free board in exchange for carer duties, she gets more than she bargained for in Finn Bailey. Lazy and unqualified, Finn clashes with overworked carer Ruby, setting off a chain of events leading to romance, rebellion and a residents' choir.
With his trademark humour, Working Dog's Tom Gleisner (Have You Been Paying Attention?, Utopia) brings exuberant cheer and real heart to this story, turning one of Australia's most shameful failures - aged care - into a vision of hope. Co-created with singer, actor and composer Katie Weston (Falling Forward, Sugartown) and directed by Dean Bryant (Fun Home), it's a joyful, uplifting musical reminding us there's always something to learn, no matter how old we are.
