One morning, he three teenagers discover a note in the Frosties. Mum has abandoned them: they have been left home alone.

Blackberry Trout Face is a bold, gritty and funny play which explores universal themes of family, loyalty and ambition. With sharply drawn characters, crackling dialogue and plenty of humour, we follow three young people as they struggle to cope with exceptional circumstances. Blackberry Trout Face was commissioned and developed by award-winning theatre company 20 Stories High.

Jakey (18) has had enough of life in the crew. He is big and strong for his age and has issues controlling his anger.

Kerri (15) looks after her mum. She is tough, she is very intelligent and very protective of her family.

Cameron (13) is too scared to step outside. His anxieties rule his life, and he feels every emotion very strongly.

AUDITION DATE– Wednesday 11^th January- 8pm

Auditions are open to anyone who is in school year 10 or older. Auditions will contain a collection of scripted and non-scripted activities that will be provided on the night. There is nothing to prepare for the audition, however, it would be useful to familiarise yourself with the Liverpudlian accent if you plan on attending as the play is set in Liverpool and this is something that we will be working on. You must be able to appear the age of the characters in the play both physically and vocally.

Rehearsals will be 6pm-9pm every Thursday from mid-January until the show. From April, we will begin adding in an additional Tuesday rehearsal between 8pm and 10pm.

PLEASE NOTE that this play contains some very serious themes including drug use.
