Perth Modern's Year 11 ATAR Drama students proudly present HOODS and invite you to come along.

Hoods by Angela Betzien is a contemporary synopsis of Hansel and Gretel. 

Each night two hoods ride a train to a wrecking yard on the outskirts of the city. Here, in this cemetery of stories, they are the storytellers with the power to fast forward, pause and rewind. Tonight, they tell the story of three kids left in a car. Rewind.

It's Friday, KFC night and the last day of school before Christmas. Kyle, Jessie, and baby brother Troy are waiting in the car for their mum. As night approaches the car park takes on a dark and sinister aspect filled with strange and familiar characters. The shopping centre closes, Mum still hasn't returned, and the baby won't stop crying.

Exploring issues of poverty and family violence, Hoods is a suburban tale of survival and solidarity against the odds.  

Please note, this production of Hoods runs for approximately 50 minutes with no interval. We have a strict lockout policy and late arrivals will not be admitted.
