Driving into Walls

In association with Perth International Arts Festival

Written by Suzie Miller and Directed by John Sheedy

 

We asked. You told us.

 

Making out, fighting, laughing, dancing and confessing … Drawn from over 500 starkly honest and highly confidential interviews with Western Australian teens, this intimate and confronting play draws back the curtain on what it means to be young in our modern, media-driven society.

 

Five teenagers walk an emotional tightrope of online and offline relationships, colliding with one another and driving into the walls built around them. This daring, immersive production gives a raw and voyeuristic view of their deepest secrets, rages, anxieties and hopes.  



Warning: contains coarse language and sexual references.
