Missing Link

Year level:
8-12
Age:
13-18

This is the journey of siblings Holly and Eddie, as they set off on a road trip to meet the sperm donor who helped give life to Holly, eighteen years earlier.

They have both just been told that they are the products of donor conception. As Eddie’s donor was anonymous, it is unlikely that he will ever discover his biological father. Holly, however, has some information about her donor…

As they drive from Melbourne to Sydney, they meet Calvin, who also has questions about his past. Highly physical, dynamic, funny and moving, Missing Link takes the form of an on-stage road movie.

The show provides a potent vehicle for the exploration of themes of identity, biological origin, family and legal rights. It is text-based, actor-driven, raw and intimate theatre.

“Brilliant! The students and staff loved it. It was the best show we have ever seen at CHS. Informative, thought provoking and fun. Brilliant acting, directing and script. It was great to watch our students enjoying such a professional show at school. The staff couldn’t stop raving about it in the staff room and are keen to follow up with discussions and activities.” Teacher, Colac High School
