'A boy is lying dead next door. No one seems to have an answer. It's so hot outside and last night was all a blur. So who is responsible?

'Winner of the 2018 State Theatre Company of South Australia and Flinders University Junior Young Playwright's Award, Rattling the Keys follows five teens living in the small rural town of Coober Pedy. Struggling with isolation and lack of opportunities, they turn to crystal meth and it is under its that memories start to become hazy—why were they arguing in the first place? What can they say to police? Who even was that kid next door?

'And more than anything, for each of them, how will the mistakes of last night impact the future they are chasing?'
