HealthPlay is a contemporary theatre company based in Melbourne.
I Choose Life
Healthplay is proud to announce the release of a new film and matching educational resources for a program designed to help high school students and their care givers deal with the issue of youth suicide.
Suicide is the leading cause of death among young Australians. More than 350 young people aged 18 to 24 take their own lives every year — more than die on the roads. For every youth suicide, there are 100 to 200 more attempts.
The film “I Choose Life” by Alan Hopgood was produced in order to create life-saving conversations and is being released in September 2022 following a successful run as a play in schools.

What’s Happening
Health Play welcomes play number twelve! Stig Wemyss, an original member of the HeathPlay family, has written and produced “Out of the Blue”, a play about depression and suicide in rural areas. It has now been included under the HealthPlay banner in the hope that it will tour widely, especially in the bush, to combat the rise of suicide in those areas. For all details and bookings check our “What’s On” page.
