Younger & Smaller
By Amelia Newman
October 23-26, 7pm
The Cellar Theatre
What are you going to leave behind?
Alanna, Elise, and Jack are young—but they feel old. They can do it—until they can’t.
From one of Australia’s exciting emerging voices comes a heartfelt dramedy where three friends talk shit, shoot shit, and feel shit—oh, and they have giant papier-mache heads.
As the three 20-something friends grapple with grief, anxiety, hormones, and their whole overflowing shopping bag’s worth of emotions, they welcome the audience into their living room to experience a wild whirlpool of young life.

Pulp feature
“I peek into the Cellar Theatre, where cast and crew are busy setting up for one of the final rehearsals of Younger and Smaller.”

“… a skilful combination of acting tenacity, production design, and particularly whizbang giant-head construction.”
