This coming-of-age story – starring Nadine Garner and Max McKenna, and staged by the Melbourne Theatre Company – illustrated a young woman torn between emancipation and comfort, with the reality of a never-defined yet ever-present mental illness adding layers of complexity to what would otherwise be a universally relatable tale. Rather than being afraid of the grey areas, this heart-wrenching drama embraced complexity and left most questions it raised unanswered.
