'“Yesterday I thought there were only two options. Go to school, or skip it and go to the shopping center ‘til I get caught and the cops take me back to Mum. We can do something totally different. We can just completely run away. Go full on missing.”
'Caitlin and Oscar are hiding out in a motel in the middle of the Australian outback. No one knows they’re there, and seventeen-year-old Caitlin won’t tell fifteen-year-old Oscar why she’s kidnapped him. They’re out of money and things are starting to get weird. The only thing they have on them is a rare and valuable graphic novel, Hell’s Canyon, but Oscar doesn’t want to sell it. Not for this. Not for anything. Hell’s Canyon is a play that celebrates everything magical about being a young woman, the tenacity of teenage friendship, and our ability to transcend tragedy by reaching for the sublime.
'Hell’s Canyon is a wild ride into growing up and finding peace.' (Production summary)
