FOR OUR FRIENDS EVERYWHERE…!
SCAB is the recipient of the Senior ATYP Foundation Commission, which develops a new play each year that showcases the skills of actors aged 14–17. It will be published by Playlab, so if you have a group of young people keen to sink their teeth into something truly excellent - or just want to read quality new Australian playwriting - then get onto this one!
WHAT’S IT ABOUT…?
On this day every year the ‘Kappa Crew’ perform a sacred ritual in honour of Amalia’s sister, who died four years ago. They pool their money to buy flowers, wag fifth period, go to the cemetery and sing ‘All the Small Things’ by Blink 182.
But when the crew meet at the start of lunch, something goes horribly wrong… no one brought any money. No one has any money. A plan is set into motion — scab! The crew splits up in an attempt to find enough money to buy flowers, but scabbing money at Meadow Ditch High is not the only challenge they face.
Scab is a hilarious tale paying homage to the tenacity of young people who, when confronted with a lack of resources, become infinitely more resourceful than those around them.
