Notes: | This AWGIE -award winning play observes with sensitivity and humour the perspective from both ends of the gun. Written as part of the Sydney Theatre Company's Blueprints Literary Program in 2003/4 | |||||
| In 2002 , a young man rehearses for his first armed robbery on a bookstore in Newcastle. On the other side of the world, Chechen rebels hold seige of the Moscow Theatre, demanding liberation. One is a local, small time theft and the other an international political crisis, but both are born of a similar futility and powerlessness to be heard. Moving back and forth between Moscow and Newcastle, these real events are the basis for this exploration on what drives such acts of terror and the impact they hold on the victims. | |||||

| A short, sharp, evocative collection of monologues written by some of Australias leading young and established playwrights. Each piece is crafted for an actor aged between 16 and 20. Subtle, uplifting, poetic and funny, these pieces are as exciting and diverse as the young actors that perform them. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
| Over three years, Australia's new writing theatre, Griffin Theatre Company, presented fourteen unique short plays across its mainstage season. Seen for one night only, The fates, Seasons and The Seven Needs were three play cycles provoked by the classical mythology of man's inescapable destiny, the seasonal patterns and Maslow's Pyramid of Human Needs. Now , this eclectic and fascinating collection of ten minute plays by some of the country's most established and emerging playwrights becomes Short Circuit. | |||||

Synopsis: | Ant & Annie are a couple. So are Bill & Bella. Both are frighteningly close to middle age. As each couple sits down to some cake, nothing is said but everything is meant. For this is love done the contemporary way: conversations punctuated with text messaging, pleasures punctuated by food intolerances and happiness punctuated with rage. Cake's not the only thing you could slice a knife through. . .A deliciously funny exploration of love and sex in the modern world by one of the country's most daring and witty playwrights. | |||||
