Fourteen

By SHANNON MOLLOY
Adapted by Shake & Stir with Shannon Molloy

The year is 1999 and Shannon has a secret.

Based on the best-selling memoir by award-winning journalist Shannon Molloy, Fourteen is the inspirational true story of growing up gay in central Queensland, transformed into a powerful must-see theatre production by nationally acclaimed Shake & Stir Theatre Co. 

This moving coming-of-age memoir about adversity and tragedy is also a story of resilience, hope and hilarity - thanks to the love of a group of close-knit friends, a fiercely protective family, an extraordinary mother and... S Club 7. 

So press play on your discman, lose yourself in a pumping 90s pop remix and take a technicoloured trip back to your teens. 

This is Fourteen...
