Ten performers stand side by side in orange puffer jackets, gazing upward in awe. They are lit by a cool blue glow beneath a large, rippling tarp that evokes a frozen or icy landscape.

Antarctica. A blizzard. Nine schoolkids are stranded in a shack, on the bottom of the world, with a sinister force circling outside…

Our young explorers, in the ghostly footsteps of Ernest Shackleton, question the nature of power and the power of nature, as the limit of their courage are pushed into uncharted waters.

A hypothermic flurry of comedy and thriller, Shack explores the territory between teen anxiety and teen invincibility. Young people are being called on to lead like never before, but how do they learn to step up, when sometimes just existing is hard enough?!

Zip up your warmest parka and be ready for anything…

The ATYP Foundation Commission invests in work for young people to perform. Developed by ATYP and published by Playlab, we are creating a canon of work for young actors aged 10-13. This is your chance to see this exciting new Australian work before it goes on to be performed by schools and youth theatres around the country.

A group of performers huddle together in their orange jackets, cheering as one performer in the centre is lifted slightly, pointing triumphantly upward under blue stage lighting.
A line of performers in orange puffer jackets lean forward against a harsh wind effect, gripping a rope as artificial snow blows around them beneath a billowing blue tarp overhead.
A performer in an orange puffer jacket crouches beside a wooden platform in a darkened space, illuminated by a small warm light as they examine an object inside a crate.
A line of young performers in bright orange puffer jackets brace themselves on a wooden platform, pulling tightly on a safety rope that leads through an open doorway into a bright, snowy blizzard where another performer is stepping outside.
Two performers in orange puffer jackets share a tight embrace. Their eyes are closed, and they stand against a cool blue backdrop that suggests an icy or outdoor environment.
