TEENAGE DICK
by Mike Lew
Flight Path Theatre have teamed up with Divergent Theatre Collective for an exciting collaboration with their inaugural production and Sydney Premiere of Teenage Dick by Mike Lew. This production, is a brilliant retelling of Shakespeare's Richard III meets 90's Mean Girls and Cruel Intentions. Mike Lew's Teenage Dick is important for representation, as it explores the experiences of disabled individuals in a high school setting.
The play follows the story of Richard, a teenager with cerebral palsy, as he navigates his way through high school politics and love triangles. With a talented cast and creative team, this production promises to be a thought-provoking and entertaining experience for all audiences.
Mike Lew's play Teenage Dick was commissioned and developed by The Apothetae, a company dedicated to plays that explore and illuminate the 'Disabled Experience'. It was first performed by Ma-Yi Theater Company at the Public Theater, New York, in 2018, and received its UK premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in December 2019, directed by Artistic Director Michael Longhurst.
