Northbridge dinner at Shadow Wine Bar collaborate with Perth premiere of original play Never Have I Ever
Shadow Wine Bar is teaming up with The Black Swan Theatre Company to offer locals and visitors alike a special menu to celebrate the West Australian season premiere of the theatrical production
Never Have I Ever
.
The show, written by
The Guilty Feminist
podcast host Deborah Frances-White, is set in a boutique restaurant where a group of diverse friends discuss race, class, privilege over duck terrine and a plentiful supply of alcohol.
Francis-White said she did not want to present the play in a sanctimonious way, rather explore ideas 'with humour and heart.'
'But it's important to allow ourselves to explore points of view through the characters' experiences. We just need those characters to be multi-layered and enjoyable to spend time with, even when they're flawed and feckless.'
Without giving too much away, the friends differ in their approaches to the struggles of life and have vastly different financial situations, and as a drinking game is initiated, secrets and hidden feelings emerge.
Prior to the show, punters can choose from a selection of pasta dishes at Shadow Wine Bar along with a glass of red, white or sparkling and then head to the show at the nearby Heath Ledger Theatre.
Never Have I Ever runs from June 14 to July 6.
