Since its inception in 2011, ATYP's Voices Project has been cultivating the talents of the best young Australian actors and writers. Every year, twenty young Australian writers are chosen to each write a seven-minute monologue for a young actor, bringing to audiences the cutting edge of Australian theatre. This selection of seventeen monologues takes the reader through the themes that have been explored in the Voices Project over the years, varying from first love to food, telling the stories of Australia. By turns witty, touching and chilling, the monologues of the Voices Project explore, deconstruct and subvert our perceptions of modern Australian life.
