STICK

“They told me I’d be getting sick, but actually I’m just getting awesome.”

In a local support group, Louise shares a darkly comic perspective on what’s it like to be a teenage girl with Crohn’s Disease.
Sometimes it’s easier to reveal yourself to strangers.

****************************

Written by playwright Carolyn Burns, STICK is a raw, honest, sensitive and at times painfully funny account of the turmoil of emotions experienced by a teenage girl when diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. STICK was directed by Martha Goddard as part of THE VOICES PROJECT from the Australian Theatre for Young People (atyp).
