Saplings: humour and tragedy in a play about youth social justice

Brought to you by ABC Radio National

Saplings is a play highlighting the experience of the youth justice system, based on conversations with young indigenous people who have been through the cycle of courtrooms, detention and rehabilitation. It has been hailed as “a delicate story of challenge and possibility” and “moving, upsetting, and perhaps unexpectedly, strikingly funny. Saplings will be touring nationally with Australian Theatre for Young People from May 13.

Guest: Hannah Belanszky, actor, screenwriter, and playwright, and author of Saplings.

Includes original music created for Saplings’ soundtrack
