Tamara and Jasyn are in love. Tamara is fourteen, well sometimes sixteen. Jasyn lives with Aunty and his brother Dane is in prison for dealing. Jasyn wants to take Tamara to the formal, but he hasn’t got the cash.
In a world of absent mothers and missing fathers, Mrs Petchell battles to keep another year of students out of the ranks of the vanished. The Outsiders in on the syllabus again, but instead of Socs and Greasers, this is the world of Speds and Bitches – fuelled by Red Bull and powered by Ipods. When everyone is marching to the beat of a different drum, it can be hard to find your own rhythm.
The winner of the 2009 Griffin Award, Silent Disco exists between the violence of poetry and the music of a fight. The play blew away the judges with its incendiary language and defiant theatricality. And joining Lachlan Philpott on the dance-floor will be acclaimed director Lee Lewis (Honour, The Call).
Get ready for a frontline exploration of a generation’s disparate dreams in an unpredictable world.
