In 2021 we wrote a show, in 2023 we said “we can make this show like, way better”, and in 2024 that redeveloped show made its way to the Adelaide Fringe.

Fresh from a season at the Adelaide Fringe, the D’faces senior performance troupe take you on a voyeuristic ride into their inner lives, in a production that has been praised as “A time capsule of what it’s like to be a teenager in 2024” (The Note Magazine, 2024)

"I had a dream that I killed someone, like - violently murdered them." And so the show begins. Our young artists take you on a truthful and hilarious journey through the teenage experience, from debating the morality of the Scream franchise, to playing barbie. 'The Totally Unofficial and Classified Guide to Surviving the Impossible' is part verbatim theatre, part reflection on mental health, teenage identity, and the power of friendship.

Developed with D'faces troupe, written by Michal Hughes.
