โฆ Synopsis
It started around the time he turned 16. Everyone and everything started grating on Connorโs nerves. His mum, his dad, his teachers, even his best mate. Lately he just canโt help picking fights, slamming doors and flipping desks. Then his parents decide to dump him alone in a forest for a week. As unpredictable as Connor himself, The Violent Outburst That Drew Me To You tackles the ticking time bomb of teenagerdom. Behind its sly and smart-arsed exterior is a searching exploration of adolescent anger, bound to strike a dissonant chord with anyone whoโs ever caught a whiff of teen spirit. โFunny without being patronising, and serious without seeming earnestโฆ The Violent Outburst That Drew Me to You develops a hallucinatory quality which, given Connorโs swirling brain chemistry, feels just right.โ Jason Blake, Sydney Morning Herald
