Amphibian

By Duncan Graham

“A whole-heartedly entertaining and humanising experience.” – Glam Adelaide

Based on the real-life testimonies of refugees, Amphibian sees past, present and dreams collide in an epic story of displacement, loss and adapting to different worlds.

Chloe and Hassan are sent out of class under suspicion for stealing money while feeding the class axolotl. As the unlikely pair work out who’s responsible, Chloe hears the heartbreaking story of an Afghan boy who has travelled alone, across land and sea, for a better life.

Poignant, powerful and bubbling with humour, Amphibian is a sparkling teen drama that brings one of the most urgent issues of our time roaring onto the stage.
