The icebergs are melting. The animals are dying. The planet is buckling under the weight of our neglect, our greed. We dream of a sustainable future but could we dream ourselves into one?In Hibernation, one simple idea is turned into a global movement: what if we could somehow turn back the clock? What if everyone on earth went to sleep for a year and let nature take back control? This startling premise sets the stage for Finegan Kruckemeyer‘s bold and brilliant adventure through an imagined future that feels barely heartbeats away from the present.A globally sanctioned shutdown—in an idea conceived long before the pandemic—sees citizens of every nation fill their lungs with chemically altered air … and wait. What happens next is moving, terrifying and totally transformative. This epic and intimate portrayal of the personal impact of environmental crisis is at its core a story of lives lived, loved and squandered, of good acts and bad, and of redemption.We’ve made our beds. Now we must sleep in them.

In For We The Young, a collection of plays by one of Australias most beloved writers of theatre for young people, Finegan Kruckemeyer offers a glimpse into worlds of quiet sorrow and deep joy, daring feats and ingenious leaps. His quirky humour and surprising stories release the imagination and let it run wild, trailing images and words behind like so many footprints in the snow. In My Robot, pieces of junk and pieces of people form the cure to a young inventors homesickness. In Love, a big-hearted boy tries to save the most precious things in his town from a huge storm. In The Snow, a tiny child tackles mean birds and deep darkness to find a way through the mountain of snow that has cut off his village. In This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing, three sisters traverse the globe to find their true selves. And in the dystopian world of Where Words Once Were, our hero learns the damage words can do, along with their power to heal.
Zachary wants to be different. So he thinks of all the other places out there - filled with giants, and miniatures, and hairy things, and flying things - places where he should not be middling at all. And so he sets out... to stand out.
