Bloom

But the sentence is clear: she has but one hour to end her son’s life or face the consequences for her and her entire family. As the clock inches towards a final decision, the battle for life, truth and understanding is shaken by unexpected revelations that challenge preconceived ideas and the true meaning of unconditional love. Inspired by real events.
The Olympians
A must-produce show at your secondary school, with seven leading roles for girls and an expandable ensemble full of wonderful featured roles for everyone, THE OLYMPIANS is a riotous adventure about the power of changing the narrative!
Three Greek goddesses—Athena, Aphrodite, and Artemis—engage in a bet about how best to advance women’s place in the world. They make a wager to determine which is the most powerful tool: a top-notch mind, a loving heart, or a fighting spirit. Each goddess chooses one mortal girl, plucked from obscurity, and sets each of the three girls on a quest to prove her point. When the male gods catch wind of the mortals’ plans, they use their powers to make the quests much more treacherous than the goddesses intended. Ultimately, the mortal girls (and the goddesses) realise that it will take all three qualities to make a difference, and they realise that, rather than competing with each other, they must work together to prove that sometimes you can all be heroes.
Featuring an eclectic score of well-loved hits from Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson, Blondie, The Chicks, Pat Benatar, and many more, this tale of Ancient Greece has never felt more contemporary.
