Mind the Gap

Overview

They are angry, frustrated, full of woe and angst. But hey they are teenagers! Art therapy descends into surreal absurdity as a group of teens tries to process life and their emotions in todays world.

Mind the Gaps is a one-act play that explores the minds of the modern teenager and how they cope with environments that keep them isolated from others. Bullying, mental health and the post pandemic landscape comes into focus as these teens struggle to interact with each other and the world. As a group known for tackling serious issues in modern society, Shadow Company presents an original drama focusing on what the eyes don’t see and how society can improve at-large.
