Stories with heart, honesty and humanity.
Follow Me Home is an insightful new theatre production by awardwinning
playwright Lewis Treston. Presented as a series of vignettes, the
play reveals the real stories of a group of extraordinarily strong, resilient
and courageous young people from across Australia.
Telling the truth, being honest and sharing your story takes guts. Real
guts. How do you tell your friend she can’t sleep over anymore? Can
you help a parent when she’s lost all hope? How can you strive for
independence when the system is working against you? And what if just
being honest means you’re out on the street?
Inspired by the real life stories shared by homeless young people across
NSW, this thought provoking work from Australian Theatre for Young
People (ATYP) is a must see for audiences aged 14 and over. Four talented
young actors take on multiple roles in a fast paced show that will leave
audiences with a shift in perspective, a little more compassion and a
deeper understanding of the world around them.
Audience Advice
