Refuge

Four plays that look at our need to have a special place. PP Cranney's Home pits suburban trivialities against the lives of the homeless, and two young refugees; in Stephen House's The Yum Yum Room Tom struggles to find independence while coping with his estranged father and the absence of his mother; In Crowded House, John Romeril takes the search for security into a future dystopia where, in a terrifying twist on survival of the fittest, the young are hunted in the streets; and Chris Thompson's The Bridge movingly explores the adolescent search for belonging.
