Class is cancelled! A new black comedy, which was over a year in the making, is here to grace our ears, just in time! Not Today, explores what happens when all the structures and dynamics that are meant to keep us safe fail, when a zombie apocalypse starts in a highschool. The student becomes the leader and the teacher needs to grow a spine.

We're so excited to share some amazing new radio play stories from local creatives in Naarm (Melbourne).

This story contains adult themes, course language and violence. Listener discretion is advised. We had so much fun talking to the incredible writer about this story and the timeliness of the themes and ideas explored. The script challenges how we're meant to expect these stories to go and our expectations of those who are meant to have our best interests at heart.

Tensions rise as innocent curiosity questions blind loyalty. Take a seat and take part in the cold war of the dinner table. We must behave, for the fear of our fathers is not unfounded. We must trust and have faith, for it will all work out in the end. That's what the man in the television says... Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
