A one act play, Happy Meals Happy Kids is an exploration of what it means to be a teenager facing a future that isn't guaranteed. Over the course of a semester, I wrote, directed and produced this work to prove the power and abilities of young people both in the Canberra theatre scene, and broader global stage. In a world where young people are consistently excluded from the decisions defining our future, my work is an act of dissent, reclaiming the control too often denied to young people See Part 1 below. Parts 2 and 3 can be found in the supporting document.
