Taz vs The Pleb

Set in the fictional retirement town of Turneybull, in rural NSW, two lovable 16 year-old misfits - besties Taz and Shontelle - decide to take democratic measures into their own hands by hatching a plan to steal all the postal surveys during Australia’s 2017 same sex marriage plebiscite.

A fast-paced heist parody for ideal for ages 14+, Taz vs The Pleb places young queer voices centre-stage in an outrageous and joyous celebration of teen friendship, community, and grassroots revolution, as our two heroes dodge a revolving door of wacky townsfolk in their race to rig the survey. 

Inspired by the real-life childhood friends of writer/director Kasia Vickery, it's 60 minutes of fun created for audiences 14-18 and their families, brought to life by Sydney's next generation of theatre makers.

Because sometimes you have to break the rules to change them.
