Synopsis

Blurred is a one-act play that contains social comment and black comedy. The audience is faced with the brutal truth of Schoolies Week celebrations. While it raises continual laughter there is a sinister, threatening underlying beat. [2] Between an opening and closing scene of a couple of old-hand predators, the action follows the journeys of several students to the Gold Coast, Queensland. The audience experience this rite of passage that has become a tradition for Australian school-leavers.
