Teenage Alchemist

Title: Teenage Alchemist
Author: Betzien, Angela
Price: $24.95

Xanthe and Joshua are both obsessed with stars. Joshua loves the stars that light up the sky, while Xanthe is more interested in the stairs in her magazines. But despite their differences they do have some things in common; theyre both forced to stay home from school, they both trawl the Internet looking for answers, and they are both diagnosed with cancer.

\"The Teenage Alchemist dives into an unflinching and emotional examination of life and death, and how young people respond when confronted with their own mortality much earlier than most of us experience. The respect this play shows to its sophisticated teenage audience creates a compelling theatrical experience of the 'death' of isolation and the healing joy of life's diversity\".
Christopher Tompkinson, director.

Written for Camp Quality, The Teenage Alchemist explores the personal conflicts of teenagers living with cancer.
