Review of Puberty Blues (1981) by The Critic ( — 15 Oct 2012
Based on the confronting best-selling novel of the same name, this classic coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of one of Australia's most famous beaches is a thoroughly entertaining and often heartbreakingly realistic depiction of adolescent angst.
Our likeable protagonists Debbie and Sue (played with competence and charm by Nell Schofield and Jad Capelja) anchor the proceedings to keep the attention where it should be.
Wonderful music contributions written by Tim Finn also adds depth to the unfolding drama.
