Description

Dear Adults... by Virag Dombay & Harry Fritsch uses the theatrical device of letter writing to explore different dynamics between children and adolescent. It gives voice to young people and raises their questions and concerns. Based on real-life stories and perspectives from young people aged 6-18, the verbatim theatre work Dear Adults… shares the ideas, concerns and thoughts of young people about the world, and expresses their opinions which have often been silenced. This thought-provoking work empowers young people with agency and the confidence to ask the burning questions of our next generation. Audiences listen to their concerns and then are invited to write their own letter to share directly with an adult/child in their lives or leave in the mailbox.

PRODUCTION HISTORY: Dear Adults… was first produced as part of the Brisbane Anywhere Festival at Arcana, May 21-22, 2021.

It  is a Playlab Indie Publication

ISBN: 978-1-76161-022-6
