TESTING NOTHING
A short play set in an English exam, the present. Researched and workshopped with the Werribee Secondary College Drama Club students this play challenges the effectiveness of the exam structure and its’ almost complete inability to effectively bring out the best in students and gain any meaningful insight into the potential of our youth. To be performed by the WSC Drama Club in 2020 both to the school community and as part of the Wyndham Theatre Company’s short works series.
