School Dance

Windmill Theatre

Australia

“Myers' inventive direction marries well with Whittet's pop-culture wit”

Sunday Mail

This is a story of three teenage boys. They’re going to the school dance. They’re on a mission. But they are losers. These are the awkward kids. The invisible teens. Fuelled by a diet of raging hormones and mee goreng noodles, they exist in a misfit realm, navigating complex waters with little success.

With a unique performative voice, this is a highly personal work that, just like its central protagonists, is funny, sad, scary, weird, really stupid, endearing and repulsive.
