Bustown

By Lachlan Philpott

Directed by Amy Hardingham

Performed by atyp’s Young Artists’ Program

 

Where do you think the world ends?

What lies beyond the sprawl in our lives? The sprawl in our head?

You’d think it was the road to hell but they call it Highway One.

 

Bustown is made of junked buses in the middle of nowhere. A mystical place where time lags, people have created their own existence far from the self-centred grind of the two cities at either end of Highway One. The people of Bustown eat, work, love, and laugh and the rest of the world don’t even know they are there.

 

But what happens when the outside world discovers Bustown?
