The multiple award winning show “The Simple Gift” explores the coming of age story of an Australian teen "Billy" in the early 2000's. Follow his story as he runs away from home and learns how to be kind and gentle and caring, everything their father wasn't. Meet Old Bill and Caitlin and watch as young Billy grows his relationships with them and transforms into a young man. "The Simple Gift was a gift of a show... A thoughtfully directed play that was among the best short plays this year." - Kimberley Shaw, Stage Whispers
