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

9-25 Feb 2024

Theatre That Makes a Splash.

Set at the glorious Bold Park Aquatic Centre, The Pool invites you to immerse yourself in an intimate experience as you eavesdrop on the conversations of ordinary everyday people through a personal headset.

A mother tries to connect with her adult daughter.

A man continues his rehabilitation to strengthen his knee.

Two teenagers find privacy in a lie to their parents.

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. It is a delightfully voyeuristic experience, raw and relatable in every way.
