Growing up, coming out and learning to speak THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE. Watch the making of the film here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Aao1_KoMQ
In the middle of a French exam, 17 year old Charlie struggles to find the words to be true to his best friend…and himself.
A wry, delicate take on first love and awakening sexuality from a young man’s perspective, THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE is written and performed by Kim Ho, under the mentorship of leading Australian playwright Tommy Murphy, and directed by Laura Scrivano, for The Voices Project from the Australian Theatre for Young People (atyp).
If you are an actor or drama student and would like to perform the piece for an exam or audition, you can find the script and an article by Kim about the making of the piece at: http://thelanguageoflovefilm.com/2013/12/24/a-year-of-love/ We are happy to let you use the piece but it would be good to know about it so let us know through the contact details on the Fresh Ink site. If you contact us via YouTube make sure your settings allow us to respond.
