"Blue Side Up" by Len Cuthbert

Centred around the activity of a small local airport, this story is influenced by stories and life events encountered and experienced by the writer. Jade has a history of being the victim of abandonment. As a result, her relationships with Delilah, Mick and 12-year old Dee-J are both comical and difficult. Her survival mechanism is to be in control of her own life and everyone else’s. But that ability to control is threatened when she faces one of the ultimate challenge in her life. Sometimes the unexpected challenges of life make it hard to keep the blue side up.

“Blue Side Up,“ is the redevelopment of the play, delilah., that was staged in 2013 to outstanding reviews and audience response.
