Community Preview - Seventeen
Written by Matthew Whittet; Directed by Susan Geldart
A unique coming-of-age story in which older actors, who have long passed the season of youth, portray a group of 17-year-olds on the brink of adulthood. Set in a playground on the last night of high school, the vulnerability, uncertainty and exhilaration of youth are captured as six friends navigate the bittersweet transition from adolescence to the unknown world of adulthood. The play explores themes of friendship, love, identity and the inevitable passage of time, offering a moving and honest reflection on growing up and letting go. The finely tuned writing delivers both humour and tenderness, making this a heartfelt portrayal of the essence of life.
PLEASE NOTE:
This performance is 90 minutes without interval. Supper will be served at the end of the show.
