BLOU
Morning Cruise welcomed the energetic crew members of the
BLOU production. The director of the entire production goes by the name of
Chester Miggles.
As we got further into the conversation, we asked Chester
what the production was about and why the name BLOU was suitable. He then went
on and shared that the storyline behind the story comes from everyone that experienced
some sort of hurt in their life.
Futhermore, some of the inspiration for the production also comes from mental health disorders such as; depression, bipolar disorder, and even PTSD. They also said that it took a lot of preparation for the production to be a success as they needed to search and fact check the information they had found.
Some of the things that was shared was that this production will be showcasing at the Baxter Theatre on the 28th and 21st of March next week. They are encouraging everyone to please go and support and tickets cost R30 on webtickets.

Chester mentioned that he initially was a school teacher but
wasn’t really happy when he was doing that. That led him leave his job and pursue
a life in the creative space and work on his skills by studying at Northlink
collage and encouraging others to follow their goals as well.
Despite the interview being short and sweet, we also learnt that the life of actors can be quite difficult and challenging but they hope that the production will be a success. One of the things that also hope to get across is that they want people to be more aware and acceptant of mental health disorders.
