Whitefella Yella Tree

La Boite Theatre

Updated: Sep 19, 2025

A timeless love story, infused with culture, history and identity, plays out on the iconic Roundhouse Theatre stage when the award-winning Whitefella Yella Tree makes its Queensland premiere from October 23 to November 8, 2025.

It is a story of first love, of Ty and Neddy, two teenage boys who meet under a lemon tree and experience their fragile friendship transform into a heady romance.

It’s the early 19th Century and Ty is River Mob while Neddy is Mountain Mob, and their Country is about to change forever.
This heart-warming and heartbreaking story is brought to life by Pertame and Tiwi actor Joseph Althouse (The Visitors) and Danny Howard (Jacky), who has ties to the Barrd, Yamatji, Noongar, Bunuba, and Ngadju peoples.

Whitefella Yella Tree won the Nick Enright Prize for Playwriting at the 2023 NSW Premier’s Literary Awards and marks the La Boite debut of Palawa playwright Dylan Van Den Berg.
