Introduction by Joanna Murray-Smith.

Bright eyed and eccentric 14 year old Daisy Moon is President and Founder of the Bateman's Bay Little Monsters Fan Club. She holds her club meetings inside the dusty beachside bus stop on her front lawn. She's the club's only member. Her 18 year old brother Noah couldn't be more different. An elite athlete on the cusp of cracking national competitions, his world falls apart when he's caught cheating on a time trial. They both dream big, but are stuck in a world too small. Set in a coastal town, this play draws on Australian iconography of the faded beachside surf club, but turns it on its head by drenching it with pop culture and contemporary teen attitude. This drama is a dark and offbeat coming of age dramatic comedy, about making mistakes and learning to love yourself anyway.
