Delighted that Lightning Ridge won awards for Best Performance for Gill Roberton and Best Production for Children and Young People at the 2024 CATS awards in Edinburgh. Created with Gill Robertson, Shona Reppe and Daniel Padden. Directed and Text adapted by Robert Alan Evans. “Lightning Ridge sees Catherine Wheels re-visit Pobby and Dingan, Ben Rice’s novella for young people in what is a remarkably involved piece of storytelling about imagination, loss and the nature of community. Re-imagined as a solo piece, performer Gill Robertson conjures up life in the near-desert world of Australian outback opal mining town Lightening Ridge. She does so with every inch of the vividness that eight year-old protagonist Kellyanne conjures up her imaginary friends, Pobby and Dingan. This is a thoroughly considered piece of storytelling. There again, it needs to be - it carries a twist that grown-ups might see coming from quite a long way off, and be braced for, but for which young people will not necessarily pick up all the warning signs.” Thom Dibdin - All Edinburgh Theatre
