The paper focuses on 'a range of youth theatre practice in Melbourne since the last years of the 1990s. ...

The author is interested in the 'youth-specificity' of the works performed, the working relationships writers and dramaturgs have with the young people, and the efficacy of the works as theatre and as youth theatre.
