Description

A vibrant exploration of small town life, Bustown by Lachlan Philpott questions the desperate move young people make to the city and the impact it has on the people and places they leave behind.

Breathe in deep, can ya smell it? Smell of bus seats. Vinyl and sweat. Nothing nowhere beats that. See the yellow bus? That’s where we was born. Bustown. A junked paradise of worn tyres and scrap metal, far away from the land of Otherness. Enjoying the safety of their junkyard town, the people of Bustown happily wait for The Driver to return. But Axel and Cressida can’t stop thinking about Otherness. With a chain of keys in close reach, how long will they continue to wait?

PRODUCTION HISTORY: Bustown was first performed in full by the Australian Theatre for Young People, in 2009.
