LOCKDOWN

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Site Specific

South Australia • World Premiere

Hunter and Alex break into the school at night. The teachers all think they’re trouble makers anyway, so they might as well make it worthwhile, right? But Scribble and Z are also on their way, and Alana-Rey and JJ have destructive plans of their own. Paths cross, windows smash and friendships are tested.

Set just before lock-down due to a global pandemic, this story follows a group of teenagers who all surreptitiously choose the same night to prove friendships, enact revenge, and make sacrifices for the people they love.

What you think you know to be true depends significantly on where you’re standing.

Additional resources for schools include a 15min radio play, teacher's notes and Q&A sessions after performances. Visit http://carclew.com.au/Program/ExpressWay for further information.
