Features of Blown Youth by Raimondo Cortese A new play at the New Theatre It's the inner city; a student, a stripper, a struggling writer, a cynical idealist and a wannabe tough guy are living in a shared house. Enter a na�ve skinhead, an ambitious prostitute and their very dangerous landlord and everyone's world implodes. A raw, violent and ultimately provocative Australian drama. This darkly humorous and gritty play is perhaps even more relevant today than when it was first performed in Melbourne in 1997.
