MOTOR-MOUTH & SUCK-FACE; AN APOCALYPTIC LOVE STORY

$5.40$15.00

Motor-mouth and Suck-face are two teen-age geeks in love and lust, desperate to be with one another yet continually thwarted by Motor-mouth's pre-school infatuation - Hilary - who is intent on re-claiming her boy.

Then one day at school - a new kid shows up - the mysterious Blasko Tupper - who knows something that none of her classmates know - the world is going to end in three days time.

There's only one thing to do - throw a party, kidnap the whole school, break the bad news as gently as possible -- then find a way to blow everyone up just before armageddon to travel safely through a cosmic worm-hole into the next dimension.

Simple right? Not quite. Because Blasko's mum and dad are actually part of an international conspiracy to conceal the horrible truth from the planet until it's too late.

Fortunately Blasko has drugged them and tied them up in a titanium cage.

Unfortunately her parents are experts at mind control and turning teenagers into blood-thirsty zombies, so before long they're on the loose and the party becomes a fight to the death - literally - where the only people who can save everyone turn out to be: Motor-mouth and Suck-face.

REVIEW: MOTOR-MOUTH AND SUCK-FACE

NIC VELISSARIS, AUSTRALIAN STAGE, 20 MAY 2007

"The performers really seem to be enjoying themselves on stage and each has their moment to shine delivering little moments of poetry or internal monologue that helps to develop their characters. Most of these thoughts and opinions seem to resonate deeply with the actors playing the roles and it feels as though they are drawn from the actor’s own experiences of being a teenager and contemplating the end of the world."
