The Pool by Steve Rodgers

Black Swan State Theatre Company presents The Pool by Steve Rodgers
presented in association with Perth Festival

9-25 Feb 2024
Bold Park Aquatic Centre

Theatre That Makes a Splash.

Sit poolside and get to know the characters that frequent Bold Park Aquatic Centre. Listen in on their conversations through a personal headset, immerse yourself in their stories, and watch their world play out before you at The Pool.

A mother tries to fix a fractured relationship with her adult daughter.

Two loved-up teenagers find privacy in a lie to their parents.

The manager faces a messy mistake from one of her employees.

Bombies in the deep end while the lifeguard isn’t looking, water aerobics classes, hot chips and choc milk, The Pool is an exploration of life as we know it and a celebration of our public spaces that create community. This is theatre like you’ve never seen – or heard! – before.
