A Town Named War Boy - ATYP
Sometimes having sticky fingers pays off. Big time.
Overview
Snooping isn't something we'd encourage. But sometimes having sticky fingers pays off, big time. A Town Named War Boy, the latest offering from the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP), turns the State Library's World War One archives into a stripped-back dramatic performance of the Anzac legend. One hundred years on and four budding actors under the direction of ATYP's artistic director Fraser Corfield bring their experiences of hardship and sacrifice to life.
Playwright Ross Mueller uncovers the voices behind the diaries and letters of these young Aussie soldiers, giving audiences a brutally honest insight into the realities of life in the firing line. Brandon McClelland, Joshua Brennan, Simon Croker and Edward McKenna take to the stage to deliver these poignant tales.
