SMELLS LIKE IMPULSE

by Stephen Carleton
read extract

A deliriously tacky comedy about stereotypes in the schoolyard, embracing self-image and taking control of your own school life. Written for Darwin High School students with lots of local references, this play offers a great opportunity for kids to put their own cultural references in. There are also opportunities for them to choose and play the music, and choreograph the dances.

Cast
11 – 34. Variable gender for many roles
Length 60 minutes
Style Comedy with music and dance
