Apocalypse, co-written by director/facilitator Michal Hughes and the D’Faces teens, originated as a sprawling 22-cast, three-act, two-hour epic. This tight one-hour rendition smartly showcases six of their most senior actors, distilling the chaos into an intimate, high-stakes punch.

The program teases 2025’s fuller cut with dancing zombies, hinting at even more from this talented teen crew. Overall, a solid outing that could regain depth by trimming ad-libbed bits instead of core scripted moments.

D’faces is a not-for-profit organisation supporting regional youth through the arts, based in Whyalla, providing workshops and special programs in performing and visual arts.
