10,000 Cigarettes
An invigorating rumination on the most prevalent modern drug. The magic white cylinder. Perfect for any occasion. A challenging and witty comedy by one of Australia’s - and the world’s - best writers of short plays.
This 10 minute play links directly with VCE Drama and also VCE Theatre Studies and will specifically assist the student’s own creation of ensemble pieces. The play and workshop can also be adapted to younger students of drama, creative writing or link with units on health and well being.
From a national tour of short plays in 2010 Shorter+Sweeter, it will be performed by the same talented cast with workshop element led by experienced teacher and director, Emma Kenyon.
