70 parts Complete An impossible love between two young street artists.
***
Ivy is a 16 year old street artist who finally has the streets to herself when Melbourne goes into the first COVID lockdown.
She meets another street artist, Asten, and can't help falling for him. But he's already under unfair restrictions by Alicia, his girlfriend - older and unhinged - and supporting him while he's out of work.
Ivy finds it hard to figure out an impossible love when her family is also struggling. Her dad's job is uncertain, her grandmother is dying from cancer, and she's promised her parents she's not going to do street art anymore ...

2020 rewrite:
'Repeat After Me' was originally a story about Ivy and Asten, but when COVID hit, I thought what a fascinating time it would be for two street artists to have the city to themselves.
So, while Melbourne was in lockdown, I began rewriting 'Repeat After Me', setting it in early COVID times, writing in real time, as events were unfolding.
