Cardijn College Year 12 Production: 'Wisdom' | 26 June 2025

What if teenagers never grew up? What would happen if you aged intellectually but not physically? What does it mean to be grown up or 'wise'?

The Year 12 Drama students of 2025 are excited to present 'Wisdom' by David Burton.

"Wisdom is a politically charged black comedy that unpacks the value society places on youth, propaganda, and its effect on the public perception of a world in crisis.

In the not-too-distant future, coming of age is a little different. Thanks to a fantastic scientific discovery, wisdom no longer comes with age. Wisdom now comes with a strict pharmaceutical regimen, and it’s all government mandated. But an idyllic, strictly regulated existence free of the shackles of ageing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When side effects start to spread and citizens become aware of the lengths the state will go to maintain order, the only answer is revolution."

All proceeds from this production are donated to Unicef, who support child development and children in vulnerable communities.

Please note that this production contains use of stage blood and explores themes of loss and death.
