Co-commission ATYP and Playwriting Australia

While Rosie balances the needs of community with her own life dreams, Elvis juggles a life of crime with a tougher path into the straight-and-narrow, and Maddie faces life as a single parent. CUSP juxtaposes the Northern Territory’s vast Top End landscape with the turbulent lives of three emerging adults as they swim against the tide of irrevocable change; balancing choice versus fate in a world where, as Elvis observes, “Some people get better choices to choose from.”

Created by Mary Anne Butler, CUSP is a love letter to the young people and landscape of Australia’s Top End, and a reminder of the inherent privilege of being able to make your own choices.
