Two friends, an accidental road trip, and a whole lot of trouble.
Asheeka and Rosa are two funny, sharp, adventurous young women who refuse to be held back any longer.
When they end up on a Thelma and Louise-esque road trip in Western Sydney, a series of escalating events land Rosa in juvenile jail living her life through books and wondering about her best mate, who has disappeared.
Join Girls in Boys’ Cars author Felicity Castagna as she teams up with local writers for workshops in Storytelling and Scriptwriting.
Join us on Thursday 26 October at 6pm for a very special in conversation event with Felicity Castagna (Girls in Boys’ Cars) and Melina Marchetta (Looking for Alibrandi). This exciting panel will be moderated by NTofP’s Joanne Kee.
The panel discussion will explore the many lives of writers – stage, page and screen.
Your ticket to the Thursday 26 October at 8pm performance will gain you access to this exclusive NTofP event.
Curated by Olivia Xegas
Join us for a night of interactive fun celebrating art, music, and food from right here in Western Sydney and the rural towns featured in Girls in Boys’ Cars. The night will include live music from local R&B artist Charnel Rizk, a photo booth inspired by Asheeka and Rosa’s road trip, the opportunity to share your own road trip stories with an interactive Graffiti wall, and artworks showcased by community artists from the towns visited in the play. Goodie bags will also be given out to the first arrivals to our event, so be sure to make it in time for those!
The event has free entry and starts at 6pm, at the Riverside Theatres’ Courtyard. See you there!
