The Wailings of a Teenage Hypochondriac

Our lead character’s at the age where the world doesn’t really make sense. She’s plagued by various health related
disasters; her best friend’s moving across the world and her father is (pardon my French) a bit of a freak. Oh, the shame of it all!
The play is set in a house in suburban Victoria. All the action takes place within this house. This play is about generation gaps, misunderstandings, holding grudges and finally forgiveness. It deals with the complexities of teenagers, who quite frankly, have too much on their plates. This is quite an absurd play, but weren’t we all absurd at that age?
