INTERSECTION
By the writers of the 2016 National Studio .
Director
Katrina Douglas
Winner of 2017 GLUG Award for the Most Outstanding Production for Teenagers!
It’s formal night and Jerry stands on a hill, high heels in hand. A young woman heads to a party dressed as a blueberry. Stuart plays at the arcade to win a slime-green lava lamp instead of concentrating on the problem at hand. What connects them is not time, it’s place.
Intricately drawn by Australia’s leading young writers, Intersection is a collection of short stories playing out across the same town, creating a glorious map of the connections we form and the experiences we have when we’re 17.
Each year ATYP brings together 20 young writers from across the country, and challenges them to create stories that speak to the experience of being a young person in Australia, here and now. Expanding on the popular Voices Project, Intersection features heartbreaking, funny and powerful interactions between characters coupled with complex and beautiful monologues to create a compelling snapshot of life at 17.
ATYP will continue the relationship with Currency Press, which will publish the pieces so they can be performed by young people for years to come.
