The Hunger Games On Stage is set in a dystopian future where 24 young tributes are pitted against each other in a deadly arena. The story centres on Katniss Everdeen, a fearless and resourceful heroine, who emerges as a symbol of rebellion as she fights not only for her life but for the hope of a nation oppressed by a ruthless Capitol.
