Melbourne, 1980s. A group of misfit teenagers break into forbidden fortresses.
The Pentagon. Stanford. NASA. There is no theft. No profits. No harm. They just want to look around. But when you’re storming castles, not everyone gets out unscathed.
Australia’s most awarded playwright, Patricia Cornelius (Who’s Afraid of the Working Class?, Do Not Go Gentle), returns with a zeitgeist-defining investigation into the price the powerful will pay to control the truth and why the children once forced to live with lies become their greatest adversaries. The ones who wanted to change the world.
This is the story of Julian Assange. Edward Snowden. Chelsea Manning. It is a story about the costs of not staying silent.
Come experience a master playwright’s undertaking of a complicated truth.
