UPDATE, June 28: As of June 26, the Greater Sydney region including the Central Coast, the Blue Mountains and Wollongong is under a compulsory two-week lockdown until 11.59pm on July 9. Many events in Sydney have therefore been cancelled or postponed until after this period.
The power of theatre is that it lets us walk in other people's shoes. This new play opens up the world of homelessness and youth through a series of powerful vignettes and perspectives. Follow Me Home is a co-production from Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) and Arts On Tour coming to Sydney's SBW Stables Theatre (Griffin Theatre Company) this winter. The production was written by award-winning playwright Lewis Treston inspired by the real-life stories of young people who have experienced homelessness.
See the stories of young people from across NSW brought to life by the four key performers in Follow Me Home. Directed by Fraser Corfield, this production follows this group of young actors playing multiple roles in a series of fast-paced scenarios. With a backing in real-life stories and with Treston at the storytelling-helm, this play is bound to open your eyes and hearts to new compassionate and understanding perspectives.
Suitable for audiences aged 14 and over, Follow Me Home tackles many big and potentially triggering issues. Though the play is centred on the courage and resilience of its characters check the full content warning and use your discretion when booking tickets for yourself and the young people in your life.
Follow Me Home runs from June 16 to July 3 only, so be sure to secure your spot in the audience here.
