Y-GLAM Queer Youth Theatre Presents

leaving elizabeth

Based on stories by Y-GLAM members

Auslan interpreted performance Wed 12 Sept, 7.30pm

Wheelchair Access

Haunted by the memory of a lost love, she travels to forget - across the Australian outback,
the glaciers of South America and deep into the Amazon jungle.

Meanwhile a Malaysian boy sits in his room looking for love on his smart phone -
terrified to ‘come out’ or make contact.

Through physical theatre, stunning projections and original music Y-GLAM tells two stories of
getting dumped, getting scared and sometimes, finding the one.
