Inspired by the true story of little known Point Puer boys' prison at Port Arthur, this gripping drama focusses on a group of young convicts who are trying to survive prison life. Point Puer was the British government's first ever attempt at any form of rehabilitation of young prisoners. In its short form, the play won major awards at the 2014 Playhouse Players National Playwrights competition.
