Wayne Blair directs his cast and weaves Tucker Green's words into a taut, well-nurtured and absorbing production.

Wayne Blair (Ruben Guthrie, Jesus Hopped the A Train) returns to B Sharp in 2010 with an inspired interpretation of Debbie Tucker Green's confronting exploration of voyeurism, power and guilt Dirty Butterfly. Trapped in a cycle of poverty and racial discrimination, Amelia and Jason cannot escape the dark and compelling world of their neighbour Jo, who in turn cannot seem to break from the reality of her own horrors. Linked by proximity and common misfortune, these three lives become entwined, separated only by the paper-thin walls of their tenement flats.

Enthralling and intense, Dirty Butterfly plays out like a wonderfully unpredictable piece of music swinging from the lyrical to the discordant.
