Senior Drama Company production announcement.

Our Year 11 and Year 12 Drama students, together with the Mercedes Drama Company, are excited to present the team behind their 2023 production of Neighbourhood Watch by Lally Katz.

Neighbourhood Watch, set in 2008, explores the nuances of suburban Australian life.

The story follows Catherine, a failing actor caught in the hamster wheel of suburbia, awaiting a dramatic change to reignite her spark. This change comes as she meets her 80-year-old Hungarian neighbour Ana, who is battling with the tragedies of her past and future.

As Catherine transcends into Ana's story, it becomes clear that although we live within arm's reach of our neighbours, their stores remain unknown until one is willing to find their way inside.
