The play by an Australian playwright Matthew Whittet tells a story of a group of teenagers who meet on the very last day of school. They are just about to start a new stage of their lives, to start their first plans. The meeting is an opportunity to bring back memories but also to reveal secrets that have been deeply hidden so far, to show the characters’ uncertainty, doubts, fears. Whittet’s play is a story about loneliness in a group, about power of friendship and feelings, sense of telling the truth, about discovering your own identity and sexuality and a need for being accepted. At the same time it is also a story of how we run or life and can changed it no matter what our environment we live in tries to determine our fate.
