Just Once

WINNER OF THE SYDNEY THEATRE COMPANY YOUNG PLAYWRIGHTS SCHEME AND READ AT THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL PLAYWRIGHTS CONFERENCE
Co-written by Alex and his sister Charlotte, this award-winning play takes place on a hot summer city night in King’s Cross, Sydney, Australia. It tells the story of three teenagers – 13-year-old Rino, his friend George, 17, and her sometime boyfriend Fletcher, 18 – caught up in a lifestyle with no rhyme, nor reason. The play attempts to show their anger, disappointment and frustration with the world and with themselves. The play also explores the fantasies (and substances) they use to escape from day to day life, and shows how for some, at certain points, the only way to go is out.
