AWAY is a funny but truthful play set in the summer of 1967-68. Worlds collide when three families imprisoned in a world in which their worth as human beings is measured in the cost of their holidays, are drawn together. Their journey becomes a quest for self-knowledge and a new understanding of the world around them as they learn to accept the motives, ambitions, hopes and fears which determine their actions. By the end of the play their lives gain new meaning through the dreams and visions they play out on stage.

Away has been on the secondary school course of studies for ten years, is the second highest selling script in Australia.
