Ross, David and Chris were joined in the SYM FM studios by writer/producer Sean McIntyre to chat about his new 60 minute play for the stage: 'KIDS'. 'KIDS' is part of the prestigious 2015 NEON Festival of Independant Theatre. Presentation of the play as a script reading is thanks to MTC CONNECT and MTC’s long-term goal to reflect Melbourne’s cultural diversity and to reduce the cultural myopia that has inhabited the theatre community in Australia.
'KIDS' tells personal stories of multiculturalism, refugees and immigrants through the eyes of six eight year old children and one 12 year old boy.
Seven kids. One middle-class playground.
Contribute. Enrich. Integrate.
Or else.
