THE PLAY©, a powerful youth novel created by Australian author Brian S. Montgomery, is now available worldwide on Amazon.

More than a book, THE PLAY is a purpose-driven story tackling the realities facing young people today — including bullying, violence, exclusion, identity and belonging. The novel directly supports a live musical programme that places young people at the centre of creative expression, wellbeing and positive change.

All proceeds from book sales are reinvested into creating more live productions of THE PLAY, funding new shows, workshops and performance opportunities for young people across Australia and beyond.

The initiative has already delivered successful live productions, engaging young people from diverse backgrounds — including those often considered “hard to reach” — and helping them develop confidence, emotional regulation, teamwork, discipline and pathways into education, training and employment.

“Every book sold helps create another opportunity for a young person to belong, be heard and step onto a stage,” said Brian S. Montgomery, creator and executive producer of THE PLAY©.

THE PLAY is available now on Amazon in print and eBook formats.
