JONO: Sometimes it feels like [Pause]. I dont fit in at home! Im tryin to juggle two worlds here and if you dont tell me things, it gets easier and easier to keep my life at camp separate to my life at home.
FIFO Fit In or F**k 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 F**k 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
