The Last Train to Madeline
by Callum Mackay
Synopsis
It’s a sweltering small-town summer in Wangaratta when eight year olds Maddy and Luke first meet. Maddy is convinced of two things: her dad is a famous rockstar and if she travels the world for long enough she’ll eventually find him.
At 17, bored with the monotony of small town life and heady with first love, Maddy plans the pair’s escape to Melbourne.
At 23, Luke – who hasn’t seen Maddy in six years – has built a comfortable life for himself in Wangaratta. But when she appears unannounced in his driveway one evening, the pair are swept back together in a storm of adolescent nostalgia and their former selves, wondering where they have been without each other and where they are going next.

The Popsy is ATYP’s versatile black-box studio, designed for events that benefit from intimacy and flexibility. This mid-sized space can be configured for standing events, boardroom layouts or theatre seating, making it ideal for creative developments, corporate functions and private gatherings that want a creative edge. Award-winning new Australian works and ATYP productions regularly begin life here before touring nationally.
