What is it that makes us different?

WORLD PREMIERE

Tantrum Theatre commissioned Queensland Premier's Award winner David Brown to write this play that sensitively explored issues surrounding mental health and young people.

Fusing live video and contemporary writing, this innovative and thought-provoking production followed a group of young people brought together through a series of interconnected experiences, who were forced to deal with personal and family relationships. In doing so, they learnt about themselves and each other, and they came to realise that it can leave you "something like lost, something like found".

After the incredible sold-out season of Louis Nowra's Cosi at The Playhouse in 2008, Tantrum Theatre was honoured to again be included as part of the Civic Theatre's Inspirations Subscription Series in 2009.
