Blue Heart is a series of two one-act plays, written by Caryl Churchill[1][2] and copyrighted in 1997. The first play, Heart’s Desire, is about a family waiting on the arrival of their daughter Suzy. The second play, Blue Kettle, is about a man named Derek who goes around telling women that they are his mother, claiming he was adopted at birth; the women believe him and find ways to confirm that he is indeed their son. As the interactions between Derek and the women move forward, the words "blue" and "kettle" are inserted into the dialogue with increasing frequency, seemingly at random. Blue Heart is highly regarded by critics.
