Smashed Live
An inspiring live theatre experience touring schools with interactive workshops for students, resources for teachers, and a parents’ guide.
Smashed Online
An empowering cinematic e-learning journey with self-directed learning tools, student assessment, certificate, and teacher guidance.
Learning Objectives
Smashed doesn’t tell. We enable learning. Students observe, explore and reflect on vital underage drinking themes including:
- The social and emotional causes
- The impact on young lives
- Social influence and decision making
- Where and how to help yourself and others
The Story
Designed by young people, Smashed finds the rhythm of teenage lives.
The Story
Designed by young people, Smashed finds the rhythm of teenage lives
Mal could be the first in the family to get to uni. Georgia might make the national team if she just goes the extra mile. Freddie hides his crushed dreams and dysfunctional background beneath a veneer of bravado and a haze of alcohol. To Mal and Georgia, the older Freddie represents a taste of danger, excitement, and rebellion. Each seeking to escape from something, they become locked in a negative spiral of peer pressure and a culture of underage drinking. This illusion of fun soon becomes more elusive. Drinking affects their mental and physical health and their relationships with friends, family and school. Mal’s aspirations appear to be dashed, but is it too late to change? Can Georgia get back on track? Will Freddie get the help he needs? A dramatic finale asks the audience to consider the choices the characters made, and what their own choices might be in their real-life story.

Interactive Learning
Learners find their own voice on
a journey of discovery.
Live or online, Smashed empowers young people to explore the themes raised through a natural fascination with the characters and their choices. What attitudes drove them to do what they did? How do they feel now? What could they do differently to get a better outcome?
By interacting with the characters, learners rapidly identify the causes and consequences of underage drinking. Playing director, they re-shape the story and develop new attitudes and behaviours that will help them make the right choices in their own lives.
But the Smashed experience is so much more. Students learn to recognise social dynamics at play, personal responsibility, decision making and communication. We believe these are the essential building blocks to guarding against many risks and creating positive futures.
