Publisher's Synopsis
This collection explores the world of pressure and success. From our youngest moments to our dying day we all encounter pressure in our lives. Pressure to survive, to be strong, to win, to make the right decisions, to forge the right path, to be successful -- but what does 'being successful' even mean? With mental health becoming an increasingly prominent issue for young people, Canberra Youth Theatre has teamed up with three of contemporary theatres most dynamic writers to explore these questions in ecclectic ways. Featuring brand new works from AWGIE award-winning playwright, Lachlan Philpott -- Silent Disco, Truckstop; Rodney Seaborn Playwrights Award-winner, Jessica Bellamy -- Sprout, Bat Eyes; and emerging Canberran playwright, Olivia Hewson -- A Frogs Body, Retrieval. Triptych -- A Trilogy of New Works was commissioned by Canberra Youth Theatre with the support of ActewAGL and ACT Health.
