It’s 2021. Two decades on from September 11, and after a global war, Australia is occupying Indonesia to keep the Muslim peril at bay. It’s all quiet on the Asian continent right now but you never ever know. So back home in middle-class suburbia, all good Aussie teenagers are studying for their Grad Exams, the marks of which will determine which area of specialised area of training they will be allowed to enter. And in which way they’ll be able to serve their fine nation.
Which sucks. It really does. Because all Torii, Amelia, Adam and Sam really wanna do is sneak each other’s brains out. But of course, in this new world order, sex before training, or ‘sneaking’, is illegal. And punishments are always dealt because someone has to know what is going on behind closed doors, in the dark hallways at the mall, in private beds.
Sneakers is a teen melodrama set in a future Australia. It’s presented by Theatre in Bars, an independent artists’ collective funded by RMIT Union Arts and established in 2006.
