The Director of the play is Sue Lawson, a highly ranked Writer and Director who has received plenty of awards for Writing for young adults. The company Markwell Presents created the play. Markwell Presents is based in Bulimba Brisbane. Rocks in my head tackles important issues faced by teenagers teaching how to deal with death and relationships. The play was directed to inflict emotion on the audience with a plot centered on the death of the main characters Mother and the newly formed attachment to his father.

Witch with the help of his friends helps him get through the death of his mother and solve his daddy issues. Sam’s best friend has a role of giving the main character Sam,…

Don’t you understand? Can’t you see we ought to—ought to die before we let the fire out?" (Golding 31). The boy's purpose was to make sure that there was a fire going everyday in order to get saved.
