So what happens if you're stuck in between?John Green is an Anglo-Indian Australian actor who dreams of being cast in his favourite TV soap, Bondi Parade. The problem is, his coloured contacts can't hide the fact that his skin is more brown than white.Meanwhile, his skin-bleached mum is determined for him to procreate with a blonde, white Aussie woman in order to rid the family of any sign of their ethnic heritage. All hell breaks loose when John falls in love with an Indigenous woman called Sandy.This very funny play by actor (and Bollywood leading-man) Nicholas Brown and comedian Sam McCool tells a universal tale of identity, cultural assimilation and bleaching your bits. John Green is an Anglo-Indian Australian actor who dreams big, but his coloured contacts hide the fact that his skin is more brown than white. His mum wants John to marry a white Aussie woman, but he falls in love with Indigenous woman Sandy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
