Runaways

I have been thinking of my own idea i'd like to do for site specific because at the moment I don't feel like we have enough idea to chose from as a collective. I have called my idea Runaways:

A group of youths have taken refuge at Fort Amherst from a disaster in the outside world (no one knows what has caused this or what the problem is but they know they can't leave the fort). No one knows how long the world has been like this. There's one group of youths who are already taking refuge in the fort and have been since the start when another group of outsiders sneak their way in. The new group start to cause problem by spread rumour s and paranoia threw the Fort of a monster/ghost. Because most of them are naturally youths their imagination gets the best of them and they start to believe in their being a monster/ghost. 
I feel this idea can create good opportunity for physical theatre pieces inspired by Hunting the monster or a bit on the groups despair and losing faith. It also grants equal chance for strong dialogue driven scenes with either one on one scenes and groups scenes would work just as well in this piece.
My idea was inspired by these sources:
  • Lord of the flies (Book)
  • Revolution (TV)
  • The 100 (TV)
  • Aftermath (the general concept of what life is like after a disaster)
