When the Leaves Fall
by Story Factory Youth Authors
Grab some friends and get ready to break a leg! This seven character cast is filled with the most imaginative of characters. Meet Willow, the consciousness of an old tree; lightsaber-swinging Stevo; well-dressed $haniqua; and a skydiving instructor.
— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors
From the publisher: “When the Leaves Fall is a short play drawing on the ideas of over eighty high school students from across Sydney. The characters and situations in the script share things that worry the authors, things that make them laugh and things they encounter and think about in their lives. The script was written over two terms in workshops at four high schools: Ascroft, Evans, Liverpool Boys and Thomas Reddall. Students from each school shared ideas, developed a joint narrative and wrote individual scenes for the play.”
