'Free Agents Youth Theatre presents the world premiere of LAMBS - a theatrical exploration of the experiences of underage boys who enlisted in WWI. From 1914 to 1918, thousands of Australian boys lied about their ages, and went off to fight in a war on the other side of the world. They found they could die as well as any man, but they could never grow old. Like Peter Pan's lost boys, they have remained forever young. Over a hundred years later, they're all gone...but how do we remember them? This profoundly moving work by Sean Riley features a cast of Adelaide's finest young actors and creatives.'
