For Johnny - Young & Hungry 2011

This is not farewell – this is see ya!

Exploring the intricacies and issues within a group of teenagers during a high-pressure situation, they are faced with the loss of a key member of their group, Johnny.

As the group struggles to cope with the loss of such an integral friend they test themselves and their position and place in the group. How will they move on without him?

Set during the final year of high school, friendships will evolve, as the fleeting nature of life becomes an abrupt reality.

For Johnny is a beautifully moving drama about six young people dealing with love, life and loss.

Young and Hungry is an annual theatre festival created by young people with the intention of making accessible, unique and completely new theatre.

Forty theatre newbies, mentored by industry professionals in all areas of production, present three fresh Kiwi plays. The 2011 season includes exciting new works from Whiti Hereaka (For Johnny), Thomas Sainsbury (Disorder) and new playwright Aaron Alexander (Hearts Encoded).

In its seventeenth year at BATS Theatre, Young and Hungry has a tried and true reputation for edgy original New Zealand theatre.

A season pass lets you experience the whole festival for less - $42 for Adults and $30 for Concession tickets lets you see all three shows over the two week season. Recession friendly theatre!
