Fade

Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta presents
FADE
Australian Premiere
By Tanya Saracho
Directed by Jeneffa Soldatic

A witty and insightful look into work, life, the dynamics of power, class and race and the manipulation of status as a minority.

Lucia, a Mexican-born novelist, gets her first TV writing job, feeling out of place in the male and white writing room, she quickly becomes friends with the only other Latino around, a janitor named Abel. As he shares his stories, similar plots begin to find their way into Lucia’s TV scripts.

An observation on making it as an outsider and how far you’ll go for success.
