Presented by Black Swan State Theatre Company of WA

A powerful reimagining of Tim Winton’s acclaimed story.

Change is hard and hope is violent.

Jaxie Clackton is 15, furious, and on the run from the wreckage of his past.

Crossing WA’s saltlands, he doesn't know exactly what he's looking for… maybe freedom, maybe himself.

What he finds instead is Fintan MacGillis, a disgraced Irish priest living alone in exile, in a crumbling shepherd’s hut at the edge of the world. The two outcasts form an unexpected and fragile bond. But as dangerous secrets surface, man and boy are forced into a reckoning with their past; each confronted with a life-changing choice.

Commissioned by Black Swan and premiering in Perth, this stunning new adaptation of Tim Winton’s beloved novel is brought to the stage by acclaimed playwright Tim McGarry (Boy Swallows Universe, Tim) and director Matt Edgerton.

The Shepherd’s Hut is a raw, poetic and unforgettable exploration of masculinity, isolation, forgiveness… and the violence of hope.
