How do you survive when there isn’t ENOUGH?
A dark tale told from the diary of Atalanta, a teenage girl on the run in a city devastated by war and starvation.
A city where food costs the earth, and is near impossible to get. A city without fuel, without transport, where homes are no longer sacred, where safety is never guaranteed. A city where people line up for rations at a football stadium. A city where religion falters, and faith is in question.
The city is Melbourne. This is how it begins. Do you want to know how it ends?
ENOUGH is a new musical written by Wally Gunn and Wes Snelling. Featuring young performers from all over Melbourne. The first of four projects in 2008-09 by Platform Youth Theatre inspired by The Book of Revelations’ Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, ENOUGH focuses on the third: famine, the Black Horse. This brave new exploration into a dark future is not your average musical.
Platform Youth Theatre works with professional artists to create theatre with, for and by young people. Since its first production in 1998, Platform has carved a niche for itself as a company with an innovative approach to making quality work.
