About the Show

Based on the novel 'Naked Bunyip Dancing' by Steven Herrick and adapted for Stage by Callan Purcell, YPTs 'big beautiful mess of a play' is an empowering play that celebrates young people in all their awkward glory.  Meet Billy The Punk Genius,  J-man The Rapper,  Sophie The Poet, Ahmet The Soccer Star,  Jason The Good Kisser,  Pete The Boy with the Talking Bottom,  Emily The Ballerina and so many more!

Class 6C is in their final year of primary school. A new teacher is on the scene and turns their lives upside down; introducing them to meditation, Shakespeare, yoga classes, poetry jams and many other things far out of their comfort zone. Amidst break ups, break downs and breakdancing, 6C make their mark on the school by performing the best concert to ever happen in the history of the world.
