In Whitefella Yella Tree, Dylan Van Den Berg has penned a heart-warming and heartbreaking story about love, Country, and Blak queerness throughout history.

Staff Notes: Set during the early days of Australia’s colonisation, read the blossoming first love between two first nation boys who meet under the Yella Tree (a lemon tree) every full moon to exchange information on the new arrivals. A play with expertly written dialogue, weaving humorous romance with foreboding tension. If you’re looking for a bitter-sweet read to tug at your heart strings, look no further. - Recommended by Tyler
