Wasted
by Chanel Fernandes and co-created with Kane Feagan. Directed by Emily Ling WilliamsHeadlining this year’s Evolution Festival is the Bill Cashmore Award-winning play Wasted, written by Chanel Fernandes and co-created with Kane Feagan.
Best mates Amber and Bella find themselves at the centre of a missing person’s case after their flat mate Jacob doesn’t come home after a night out. What ensues is a pulsating crime drama that lifts the lid on a justice system falling short to protect young women.
There’s a problem with university culture and this gripping new play dives head first into a waste-pit of victim blaming, misogyny, and a justice system in tatters. With sharp writing and gripping performances, Wasted is a must-see production for anyone interested in the lived experiences of young women in today’s world.
Content Warning: This production contains references to sexual and physical violence and sexism.
Wasted has been developed with generous support from The Bill Cashmore Award. Read about the Bill Cashmore Award here.
