By Mary Anne Butler
Presented by Darwin Festival, Australian Theatre for Young People and Brown’s Mart in association with Artback NT touring

Elvis wants Rosie
Rosie wants to escape
Maddie doesn’t know what the hell she wants, but it sure isn’t this.
CUSP juxtaposes the Northern Territory’s vast landscape with the turbulent lives of three emerging adults swimming against the tide of irrevocable change. Multi-award winning playwright Mary Anne Butler’s play throws a spotlight on the warmth and humanity that keep us balanced in a world where, as Elvis puts it: ‘Some people just get better choices than others.’ A re-staging of the 2019 Brown’s Mart and ATYP production.
