I’m a clown. I know that now. I make people laugh. I make people scream. I make people throw up lasagne in the toilet for half an hour. I make them change phone numbers. I make them tell their friends to tell me it’s not my fault, that sometimes… these things happen.
Out of Place is a beautifully crafted collection of seven-minute monologues presenting young characters who laugh, tease and tell stories to make your toes curl. Out of Place is the latest installment in The Voices Project, ATYP’s overwhelmingly successful program designed to nurture and showcase the talents of Australia’s best young playwrights. Each piece takes a captivating look at what happens when people are placed just outside their comfort zone.
ATYP, Australia’s oldest and largest youth theatre company, has been bridging the divide between young people and professional theatre practice since 1963. Each year, in their National Studio program, it brings together 20 young writers from across the country and challenges them to create stories. Its Voices Project which ran from 2011 to 2016, nurtured talented young playwrights in the development of seven-minute monologues for young actors. From 2017, it expanded the project to Intersection which features heartbreaking, funny and powerful interactions between characters, in addition to monologues, which together create a compelling snapshot of life as a teenager.
