Australian Theatre For Young People is bringing theatre to your home - starring you! With help from the ATYP Foundation, they have commissioned 11 brilliant Australian playwrights to each write a five-minute script that you can download and perform with your family and friends (when visitors are allowed at your place of course or try it with your friends over Zoom!). Each script features 2-6 characters, with a mix of some young people and some adults. Anyone in your house can play any character - or multiple characters! There are no boundaries!
