Sugarland offers glimpse into teenage Australia
Date published: 19 April 2016
A moving play about friendships in unexpected places and their power to save a life will come to the Riverway Arts Centre next week as part of a nation-wide tour.
Sugarland by Australian Theatre for Young People provides a glimpse into a teenage Australia that feels like a foreign country.
Written by Rachael Coopes and Wayne Blair it features actors Narek Arman, Michael Cameron, Rachael Coopes, Elena Foreman and Dubs Yunupingu.
This award-winning production promises to make audiences laugh, cry and stay with you long after you leave the theatre.
It tells the story of Nina, 16, who is good at school, has a job at the cinema and has one of the best singing voices around. But none of that is important. She needs a place to live.
Living with her Aunty in an overcrowded house, things aren't going well and it’s getting complicated.
Erica is the new girl in town. Her dad is in the RAAF and the family’s just moved to Katherine.
She’s lived all over Australia and every time she makes somewhere home, she moves again.
She’s so used to being an outsider, she's stopped trying to fit in.
Sugarland will be performed at the Riverway Arts Centre April 26 at 10.30am.
Tickets are $15 with discount pricing available for groups of 12 or more.
Suitable for audiences aged 14 years and above. Note: Coarse language, drug use and simulated self-harm.
