BLOOD OIL
"Ominous, foreboding and transformative."
LUCY - OLD FIRE STATION
Hayden Ellingworth made his biggest mark in the theatre world with his role in the production of Mandala' Theatre Company's ground-breaking play "BLOOD OIL". He portrayed the key role of 'The Colonel', stepping into the bright lights of the Old Fire Station's theatre and delivering a performance that was one of the most complex of his growing career. Ellingworth's journey to the stage was one of dedication and persistence, with late nights in research and rehearsals and a relentless passion for practice shaping his success.
Blood Oil is a story of the insanities of war: those who survive and those who don’t. Surrounded by warring factions, a mother and daughter and a peacekeeping force are trapped. Here they will have to fight: to survive, for their dignity and not to lose their souls. As the war tightens its grip on them, the soldiers begin to slip into madness and begin to fail to protect those who they are there to help. Gaia herself is crying out at the war that is being inflicted on the heart of the earth.
