SUMMARY:Saplings
DESCRIPTION:“I wasn’t there ‘cause I wanted to be\, I was there ‘cause I had to be\, okay? If Josh hadn’t eaten my noodles\, I wouldn’t be here.”\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nWould you risk breaking bail for a packet of Mi Goreng? Would you snitch on a mate to save your own skin? Around here\, ordinary days can turn on you so fast you’ve still got a smile on your face as your hopes die in your hands.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nYani wants to go to the Easter Show\, Kai wants a sense of home\, Shanika wants her Mum back\, and Lachlan…well\, he just wants his bowl of noodles. But when the justice system is all that stands between these young people and what they want\, it raises an important question—how do young people grow when the system keeps cutting them down?\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nAfter premiering at The Rebel Theatre for the Sydney Festival in 2024 and winning Sydney Theatre Award’s Best Production for Young People\, Yuwaalaray playwright Hannah Belanszky and Kalkadoon director Abbie-lee Lewis bring&nbsp\;Saplings&nbsp\;to the stage once again\, a collection of hilarious and heartbreaking stories born from workshops with young people experiencing the youth justice system from Marrickville to Moree. Four talented young actors take on multiple roles in this poetic\, personal\, and unexpected production that will leave you asking who’s really to blame.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nSet to a soundtrack of rap and hip-hop music made by young people in the youth justice system\, Saplings gives an honest\, raw look into the adult consequences faced by some of our most vulnerable. Join us at&nbsp\;The Forge Theatre&nbsp\;for a night of laughter\, tears\, and celebration of the survival instincts of young people.\n
