It’s 1965 and in a small Western Australian town, thirteen–year–old Charlie Bucktin dreams of writing the great Australian novel. One night Jasper Jones, the town scapegoat, appears at his window. Jones has stumbled upon a shocking crime nearby, and he knows he’s likely to the first suspect. He needs Charlie’s bookish brain before the town turns on him, but will Charlie help him?
Craig Silvey’s award–winning coming–of–age story about two boys navigating a changing world has been adapted for stage by Kate Mulvany. Anne–Louise Sarks directs this Belvoir debut.
