Synopsis

'You sure the abyss is our only option? Isn't there like ... an option to go forward into a nice warm hug? World peace? You know ... nice stuff.' - Drag'na Dhuul by Michele Gould

Surrounded by snacks, players begin a game of Dungeons and Dragons in which identities will be explored and revealed. As Russia invades Ukraine, two siblings start to remember their grandmother and the heritage she felt forced to hide. X-Box controllers in hand, two cousins decide it might be time to kill Grandma-but what about her great samosas?

Accused by her brother of being too scared to attend their dad's stag-do, Hen discovers that no one wants to be a chicken. And when the guy in shorts from Year 10 shows he's not nearly as cool as she thought, will a young woman find the courage to speak up?

Each year, ATYP brings together 20 playwrights from around Australia to create sharp, surprising, relevant scripts for teenage performers. The Intersection Festival is the creative reimagining of our popular Voices Project and Intersection plays, giving young people the opportunity to perform brand-new short plays written by some of the country's best new writers.

About the Author

ATYP, Australia's oldest and largest youth theatre company, has been bridging the divide between young people and professional theatre practice since 1963. Each year it brings together 20 young writers from across the country and challenges them to create stories. Its Voices Project which ran from 2011 to 2016, nurtured talented young playwrights in the development of seven-minute monologues for young actors. From 2017, it expanded the project to Intersection which features heartbreaking, funny and powerful interactions between characters in addition to monologues which together create a compelling snapshot of life at seventeen.
