AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Dirty Apple is a compelling new opera which looks at how 21st century technology is changing the parameters of peer pressure and communication in our society, and its subsequent impact on individuals, families and the wider community. The story, which explores the explosive issue of cyber bullying, centres around a group of high school students who foolishly set in motion a seemingly harmless series of events which ultimately end in tragedy.
