Intersection: Dawn

'Remember when you asked me if I wanted to be in a high-speed heist that was going to turn the school on its head and make me an online sensation?' Bin Day by Megan Rundle

As dawn breaks, the Sustainability Club's plans to prove once and for all that they must be taken seriously are about to surprise everyone-including themselves. A blanket fort provides a space for two estranged siblings to express the things they've been too afraid to say. Dressed in an itchy lavender turtleneck, Laura finds she isn't quite ready to come out of the toilet and face Nan's friends and their egg and lettuce sandwiches. Can a Rat and a Bird navigate the cheesy world of teen romance? And in Principal Nelson's office, hockey stick in hand, Annelise Ashley is ready to bring in a new regime.

Each year, ATYP brings together 20 emerging playwrights from across Australia to create short plays for teenage performers. Intersection: Dawn is a selection of these funny, moving and surprising plays, written by some of the country's best new writers, and first performed at ATYP's Intersection Festival.
