The Adults are Talking

Nominee / Playwrights b4 25, 2022 - Jack McGee

The year is 2002. Sasha is the president of the Victoria University of Wellington Students Association, and her executive is in absolute shambles. Aside from her Women’s officer, Amy, the executive consists entirely of men. Elected because of lack of competition, they’re all in one big, goon-squad. Trying to get any of them to do their job is like herding cats, and Sasha has found herself staying up to all hours, doing their work for them. Living on the other side of town, and working past the last bus, she’s nearly burnt through the executive's taxi budget, and needs to motion for an increase. The only problem is, that will require a majority vote. The play was inspired a real student association meeting and performed with the audience participating around the board meeting table.
