SITTING, SCREAMING
Written by Madelaine Nunn
Directed by Lucy Clements
A WORLD PREMIERE
“I could crack open the footpath until nothing fragile is left undestroyed.”
Shortlisted for the Rodney Seaborn Playwright’s Award and longlisted for the Griffin Award, sitting, screaming is a raw and confronting new Australian play about family, adolescence and the abuse of power.
Sam’s in her last year of high school, her dad’s just been diagnosed with testicular cancer. ‘Too much wanking!’ Her mum says, it’s a joke but no one finds it funny. It’s safe to say no one’s coping very well, least of all Sam. Not that anyone is noticing. It isn’t until she ends up in the office of Mr David that she feels like she can finally open up, that she can let it all out.
Award winning writer – director duo Madelaine Nunn and Lucy Clements take to the stage with this fierce new Australian play. sitting, screaming champions the strength, resilience and courage of young women.
