Tobias Heart will be Jamie’s debut show as a Director, after working as co-director for many school shows over the past 5 years in association with Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre.

Tobias Heart is the story of a boy who was born with a heart too big. Literally.

Side-effects include; loving unconditionally, not being able to say no and a light that shines through his chest from his heart.
Tobias is looking for someone he can spend the rest of his life with, which can be difficult when the people he meets can feel things like doubt, fear and resentment.
The moon tells him that he “must find someone in the world who is capable of a love that is bigger than their heart.”
Simple enough, right?

Cast: Jamie Kendall, Melissa Budd and Merlynn Tong

Jamie will present ‘Tobias Heart’ in the theatre rehearsal space at Brisbane Emerging Art Festival
