Description

JONO: 'Sometimes it feels like...' [Pause]. 'I don't fit in at home! I'm tryin' to juggle two worlds here and if you don't tell me things, it gets easier and easier to keep my life at camp separate to my life at home.'

FIFO - Fit In or Fk Off! explores the challenges fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers and their families face, including the disconnect to family and friends, feelings of displacement, isolation, and the ever-present drug culture. The play follows two families, Jono, Mary, and Janey, whose lives have been impacted by mining. Playwright Melody Dia weaves a confronting and visceral story as problems escalate, hit a turning point, and explode with secrets coming out.

FIFO - Fit In or Fk Off! is filled with wry humour, turbulent emotions, and unflinching truths. This powerhouse of a play will leave the reader on the edge of their seat asking, 'is it worth it?'
