"You are a playwright and you have been approached by Geordie Brookman (Artistic Director of the South Australian State Theatre Company) to adapt Claire Zorn’s novel ‘The Protected’ into a play aimed at year 10-12 students. Because the play will be travelling around the state and performed for teenagers, it must fit within the certain parameters: 1. The set needs to be easily transported and fit in one small truck. 2. You can use no more than two actors. 3. The language style needs to engage and connect with 15-18 year olds." The project is a Playwright based on Claire Zorn's 'The Protected' with a combined writer's statement explaining the choices made when creating the text. Mark Received: A
