HELEN MUSA’s weekly “Arts in the City” column.
MORGAN Rose’s unsettling play, “Little Girls Alone in the Woods”, is set in an ordinary town where girls have been going missing – maybe they’ve ventured into the bush themselves. It’s a modern twist on Euripides’ “Bacchae” and will be the year’s first show for Canberra Youth Theatre. Suitable for ages 13 and up. Courtyard Studio, Canberra Theatre Centre, May 19-22. Book here or 6275 2700.
