'Third Culture Kid' received a reading at Bold Elephant, directed by Marianne Badrichani, in October 2025 and is currently in development.
'Third Culture Kid' is set over one night in a household in Sao Paulo, where Brazilian student Christian has invited two expat girls over. The night features all the usual antics - drinking, jumping in the pool, playing Spin the Bottle, and of course - drugs. It's all going fine until Christian finds himself in a blind rage and does something he can't quite come back from.
Inspired by my own experiences growing up in South America, this play explores underlying cultural tensions, inherited violence and the question of whether the world is really as 'open' as we think it is.
