ATYP’s annual production of seven-minute monologues for 17 year old actors has changed the landscape for young writers and performers in Australia. Since the program was established in 2011 The Voices Project has supported the professional development of more than 120 young playwrights, resulted in six publications by Currency Press, instigated ten short films, been broadcast on radio national and performed by schools, youth theatres and independent companies in every Australian state and territory. The films and on-line resources have received more than 1 million views world-wide.
“It is no secret that the Australian Theatre for Young People is a crucial element in the continuing progress of our artistic landscape, but on this occasion, the stepping stone has itself become a thing to celebrate.”
– Suzy Goes See
But all good things must come to an end. All good things will be the final instalment of ATYP’s six-year investment in monologues for young actors. Directed by one of Australia’s masters of new writing, Ian Sinclair, the final Project explores the theme of ‘departures’. Always surprising, tender, shocking and funny, The Voices Project has given a generation of young Australians monologues that speak their language. It’s always sad to say goodbye.
There is wonderful and starkly inspired writing to be found in this collection of plays.
