Eating Sunshine
Thirteen delicious tales by some of the country's best emerging playwrights, Bite Me is the latest instalment of The Voices Project - the overwhelmingly successful annual program of monologues developed by ATYP, written by young people, performed by young actors around the country, and seen by over a million people globally online as we bring the monologues to life on film as well as on stage. This collection of thirteen monologues serves a mouth-watering banquet of work exploring our relationship with food. Funny, warm, irreverent and cheeky, this is a celebration of the complexity and contradictions of young lives. Bite Me is a feast for the senses.

Hell's Canyon

Hell's Canyon
Caitlin and Oscar are hiding out in a motel in the middle of the Australian outback. No one knows theyre there, and seventeen-year-old Caitlin wont tell fifteen-year-old Oscar why shes running. Theyre out of money and the only thing they have on them is a rare and valuable graphic novel, Hells Canyon. But Oscar doesnt want to sell it. Not for this. Not for anything. Hells Canyon is a play that celebrates everything magical about being a young person, the tenacity of teenage friendship, and our ability to transcend tragedy by reaching for the sublime.
