Share House is an interactive and immersive new work, exploring the lives of young people in their first five years living out of home. Using monologue, live music, poetry, audience participation (soz) and other innovative staging elements, Share House will be a tender, funny and poignant foray into the stresses and joys of renting.

Flo has just started uni and is living in a sharehouse just off campus. She takes over Arlo's room, who's sleeping in a swag in the backyard while he waits for Tori to finish moving into Brett's room. 4 Dale Street has had a revolving door for 6 years, and no-one really knows who's actually on the lease anymore.

Using monologue, live music, poetry, audience participation (soz) and other innovative staging elements, Share House will be a tender, funny and poignant foray into the stresses and joys of renting.

Following interviews with over one hundred young people, Share House is a compassionate and evocative look at a myriad of social issues faced by young people today, including substance abuse, homelessness, mental illness, financial uncertainty and isolation, laced heavily with humour and heart.
