All Good Things
As the famous saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Whether it be people, places, times or ideas, we must all move on in some way.
Directed by Iain Sinclair (Of Mice & Men, All My Sons) and written by the Australian Theatre for Young People’s National Studio, All Good Things is part of the ATYP’s Voices Project, an annual production of seven minute monologues that has changed the landscape for young Australian writers and performers.
“These 11 young Australian voices privilege us into the astonishingly complex, sensitive yet robust workings of 17-year-old minds from all walks of life across Australia now,” explained Sinclair. “It is brave and magnificent writing and it reveals so much more about the bright dreams, dark horrors and massive artistic ambitions of the next generation.”
Exploring themes of departures, the sixth and final annual installment of The Voices celebrates the extraordinary level of young talent right here in Australia, as they all say goodbye in their own way. The Voices Project ranges from works that are shocking, dramatic, funny and sincere, but this 90-minute show allows these writers to discover their voices and showcase their experiences while also supporting their professional development.
