A dreamer, a joker, a rebel, a slacker, a soldier and a wallflower… people you love, people you hate, and people just like you.

Six high school graduates’ lives are about to change course forever following a summer spent apple thinning in Nelson. There’ll be break-ups, hook-ups, new loves, drunken nights… and, of course, lots and lots of apples.

Thinning is an exciting new work about growth and gravity by Eli Kent (Chapman Tripp Award for Outstanding New Playwright of the Year 2008)

Young & Hungry Festival of New Theatre 2010
Sweet Sixteen & Still Going Strong!

The Young & Hungry Festival of New Theatre began at BATS Theatre in 1994. Since then we have produced over 50 new New Zealand plays for the BATS stage and launched 100s of careers in the Theatre.

The aim of the festival is to provide young people, 15-25 years old, with an opportunity to work in a professional theatre environment with quality scripts written for them!

Under the mentorship of leading theatre practitioners, these young people have a chance to develop their skills in all facets of the Festival’s production, including: acting, lighting, sound, costumes, set, and stage management.

Young & Hungry is proud to present the fresh and funky 2010 season – including exciting new plays from Eli Kent (Thinning), Sarah Delahunty (Song of Four) and new playwrighting duo Antonina Bale and Ban Abdul (Sick!).

Young & Hungry Season 2010
Season Pass: (all 3 shows) $38 Adult, $28 Student

6:30PM Song of Four
Written & Directed by Sarah Delahunty
New Zealand has become the last hope breeding ground for the Human Race.
Song for Four is a savvy social commentary on human value versus a world driven by profit from renowned youth focused playwright Sarah Delahunty.

8:00PM Sick
Written by Antonia Bale and Ban Abdul & Directed by Paul McLaughlin
Bullies are a bitch! Ever wanted to break free from the social confines that define you every day – at school, at home... in your own head?
Sick is a twisted comedy that explores the viciousness of girl on girl bullying.
