Cyberbile / Grounded
Author(s): Alana Valentine
Cyberbile is a candid, moving and sometimes shocking glimpse into the online world of todays teen generation. Based on interviews conducted by students, with teachers, parents and their fellow students, Cyberbile is a verbatim-based drama which speaks from and to the hearts of a Australias young adults. Set against the backdrop of one of the most intriguing events in Newcastles recent history - the grounding of the Pasha Bulka - Grounded is a coming of-age tale centred around Farrah, a young Novocastrian with a fascination for Newcastles industrial port. Through her obsession we explore universal themes of isolation, belonging and identity and that time in your life when the obsessions of childhood get grounded in reality.
