Australian Theatre for Young People (atyp) present: SPUR OF THE MOMENT by Anya Reiss at the atyp Studio 1, The Wharf, Hickson Rd. SPUR OF THE MOMENT was written by a young British playwright, Anya Reiss at the age of 17.

What we don’t have are two very interesting plays. LA DISPUTE , which I recognised as an adaptation…
