CROSSED is a collision of five strangers in gritty suburbia caught in the unseen ripple affects of a violent tragedy that unfolds in their local community. As a challenging and confronting theatrical work, CROSSED highlights the consequences of people left disconnected and alienated without the ability to simply move on.

Synopsis
can you hear me?
because sometimes you drop out and I don’t know
Dino and Griff saw him. So did Dhalia.
Lee watched him from a distance and he sped past Frances.
But hours, days, weeks, months and years later, they still can’t forget.
Five alienated voices unite for one moment that changes them all.
