A major best seller in Australia, Perfect Skin is a touching, frank and laugh-out-loud look at commitment and what it is to be thirty-something in a post-Duran Duran age.
Ten years have passed since Jon Marshall's footloose bachelor days, and he's come a long way. HeÂ’s a partner in his own practice, owns a nice house in a nice suburb and cruises town in a Beemer.
But life hasnÂ’t taken the path Jon guessed it would back in his twenties. His wife died six months ago leaving him in grief and the single father of a six-month-old baby. Over the next few weeks Jon is forced to confront and overcome the challenges of back hair, dating etiquette, clumsiness with domestic pets, and more importantly the guilt he feels about his wifeÂ’s death. But his daughter and the mysterious Ash are going to teach him something infinitely more important, how to love.
Following on from the hugely successful adaptations of After January, 48 Shades of Brown and Zigzag Street, La Boite Theatre Company is proud to continue our creative relationship with one of QueenslandÂ’s most loved writers, adapted for the stage by one of AustraliaÂ’s most influential playwrights, Janis Balodis.
