Rogues Double Bill - Gravity Guts + Ginger Black Brunette Blonde
The Rougues are transferring their hit Sydney Fringe play Gravity Guts into the new Fringe HQ theatre hub in an exciting double bill alongside the world premiere of Peter Maple’s Ginger. Black. Brunette. Blonde.
In Sophia Simmons’ uplifting, semi-autobiographical Gravity Guts, we meet Sophia, a young woman describing her journey to adulthood through her relationship with her alcoholic father and their shared passion for science and science fiction. Joyful, delicately woven, and darkly humorous, Gravity Guts recently enjoyed sell-out shows at Sydney Fringe where it was nominated for 3 awards and the winner of Best Emerging Artist.
And in Peter Maple’s Ginger. Black. Brunette. Blonde. we’re invited into the mind of Sarah, a woman trapped by the memories of a mother she barely got to know, treading water in her daily life and hoping to break free from the grip of her own memories. Directed by Simon Thomson it's a brilliant piece of Southern Gothic that feels like a twisted episode of the Twilight Zone.
Two award-winning playwrights, two very different new Australian works, and an incredible cast of female performers led by Emily McKnight starring as both Sophia and Sarah. It’s an unmissable night of entertainment in Sydney’s new home of independent theatre, Fringe HQ.
Note: RRP listed is for a double pass

Very thought provoking and powerful messages. Love the actors, incredulity talented.
Thoroughly enjoyed both performances. The acting was of a high calibre and the plays were intense and heart rending.
Terrific. Both performances were so good. Would recommend to anyone to see both of these performances.
Well acted
Really enjoyed, particularly the first billing. That one had a real Aussie feel to it.
