Chasing Rainbows

I took a break from the super-arty scene tonight to see Chasing Rainbows, the first play by emerging writer Tony Avard.

It's not arts-festival-ready, but the only way that writers can become great is by getting their work in front of people. So hooray for programs like RMIT Link that support student arts projects.

Chasing Rainbows is about Bailey who's trying to deal with the death of close friend,  a boyfriend who actually loves him and the characters who live in his mind and do their best to look after him.  Performed by actors who care about the messages they're sharing, it's passionate and full of love, pop culture and guts.
