Title	Play's trials of youth resonate
Creator Contributors	Cameron Woodhead
Abstract/Description	Director Simon Stone has assembled a strong cast, and has adapted the text so that its startlingly modern sentiments are delivered in modern idiom. His production unleashes the full fury of the Dionysian; the stage, littered with old-fashioned wooden desks, becomes a classroom/madhouse in the style of Peter Brook's Marat/Sade.
