Big Blue Things is a 14-minute audio play by David Elder.
In the aftermath of the devastating Gloucestershire floods of 2007 two Cheltenham residents, Pete and Sima, try to cope with the new normal, making daily trips to collect water from those ‘big blue things’ that have suddenly appeared on the town’s streets. However, while carrying on with their new routines, a terrible hate crime suddenly rears its ugly head. Pete thinks it should be easy to tackle head on, or will it?
If you enjoy this play you may also enjoy others in the ‘On the verge’ series which deal with various types of change. The others in the series are Face the Music by David Elder; Forbidden Music by Lou Beckett; and We Can't Be by Lou Beckett.
In Big Blue Things Sima is played by Rishika Daswani, and Pete by Ian Kubiak. Sound editing was by Cam Shand. The music was composed by Jim Barne.
Parrot Productions are grateful to the Cheltenham Arts Council for their generous financial support.
