'Tom stands on a cliff beside his smashed car. The comfortable life he knew lies in ruins beside him. Into the distance runs an abandoned train line, speaking to him of the feeling he somehow left out here as a boy. What does the land want him to do?

To find the answer we must go back a hundred years to the first dreaming of the train track and to Anna, who wakes unexpectedly at the Governor's Ball, to find herself surrounded by sleeping people.' (Source: Amazon website)

1 1 La La Land David Brown , 2008 single work drama young adult

Welcome to La La Land, a fantastical performance presented in promenade, utilizing the evocative performance space Performing Arts Newcastle. La la land will blend the medium of contemporary dance/physical theatre and new writing to explore drug obsession within contemporary culture and its correlations with mental illness. La La Land examines the large-scale chemical control of human behaviour particularly of young people, and the increasing drug interest within Australian culture. La La Land will call to question the medication of children deemed mentally ill, and explore the history of social control through medically sanctioned psychiatric practices.
