A young adult comedy exploring the challenges of adolescence will head into Geelong this month.
The Violent Outburst That Drew Me To You is a sweet but fiery tale about two off-kilter kids who are at war with the world and themselves.
The contemporary narrative follows a sixteen-year-old boy named Connor who is angry and unsure how to handle his emotions.
People and things he once liked now annoy him – his parents, his once-cool uncle and even his best mate cops it.
Connor wants to calm down so he heads to the woods to spend a week alone, but his anger travels with him.
He meets a girl named Lotte, who also enters the woods angry. But the pair soon discover they are able to find a moment’s piece with each other.
The production tackles the “ticking-time bomb of adolescence”, taking the audience on a journey that explores identity, resilience, relationships, belonging and hope, according to promoters.
Geelong’s 2pm show has already sold out, but tickets are still available for the 7pm session.
The Violent Outburst that Drew Me To You will land at the Potato Shed on 28 May.
