Blowout
Blowout is an in-depth insight into boy’s culture as the characters deal with the expectations of their parents and peers, alcohol, mateship and testosterone. A socially critical drama that explores the lives of four young males as they search for affirmation. Set in a metropolitan boy’s secondary school, the narrative reflects the conflict and dilemma faced by each character in the week leading to the district football grand final. As the action crescendos, each character’s commitment to their mates and themselves will face the decisive test.
Blowout was originally workshopped with students from Villanova in 1999 and has now been edited to include cinematic sequences. “There are few plays where boys can connect with their own experience like Blowout.” Sue Lawson - HOD of Performing Arts at Villanova College.
In 2005 production of Blowout, a commissioned co-production with Villanova College in March.
