Scrunch Test

 Based on the true story of Alaine’s family who emigrated from Scotland to Australia it is confrontational and insightful in how it deals with issues around alcoholism and the difficulty of a son coming out to his father. 

We are excited to be performing this play for Christmas 2021, at the Wyndham Cultural Centre 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of December.
