You Can Do It! (Follow Your Dreams)

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Comedy
Victoria • SA Premiere

In a world where carrots and sticks are replaced by trophies and kitchen knives, Billy's family will do anything to help the little duffer reach his full potential. But, I mean, how is he ever going to achieve anything if he can't even kill himself?

Billy's family are at the end of their tether. Dad's firm hand isn't working. Mum's coddling seems to have made him weaker. Billy looks up to Thad, but they're too different to understand each other. Perhaps Fleur can set an example? She's succeeded at everything else, so perhaps she can show him how this whole silly 'suicide' thing is done? Can't hurt... he's family after all and what wouldn't we do for our family :)

★★★★ "Thoroughly nihilistic... Like watching the Brady Bunch in the throws of an acid trip." The Age

  • This is the type of writing we need to see more of on main stages; it's a sucker punch in the face that shakes us out of complacent theater. - Julie-Anna Evans, Theatre Travels

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like watching the Brady Bunch in the throws of an acid trip: oscillating between delightful and shambolic, but you cannot look away. - Cher Tan, The Age
