How important are the decisions we make in our youth and what impact do they have on our future? If you can't find the answers to reality's questions in life look to some naturalist theatre. REFLECTIONS OF A CAUSE is the second theatre show written by ambitious and insightful Sydney playwright Sage Godrei. Through a fractured narrative the story follows the lives of Johan and Ellie who meet as 14 year old teenagers in their home town Yackadandah. Using the fly on the wall technique the audience jumps between pivotal moments in their lives as a playful, young 14 year old couple in 1994 and as a seasoned 35 year old married couple in 2015. Sage Godrei pulls out the microscope to investigate whether life's obstacles will take a toll on Ellie and Johan's relationship, although they have been together since they were 14. REFLECTIONS OF A CAUSE questions Free Will, and the formal causes that effect our decision making processes such as family upbringing and cultural influences. The audience are offered the ability to be part of intimate moments in Ellie's and Johan's life through this experimental narrative structure. Human follies of broken dreams, substance abuse and the need to feel in control of the unknown are put under the lens.
