Synopsis: | A portrait of an affluent Melbourne 'artistic' family seen through the eyes of their precocious son Vincent, who at the age of fourteen pays the price of his parents' urbanity by being sexually abused by one of the family's most trusted male friends. This tragedy is made more appalling by Vincent's parents' semi-witting complicity in the abuse, in order to rescue themselves from financial ruin which is brought about alcohol and drug-induced unravelling lives. The characters in this mosaic live their lives in italics, swinging between laughter and tears. Over many years, the play chronicles the tragic flaws of the characters who may appal or amuse, but who never fail to engage. Beneath the glittering fun of a constantly partying world is a heartfelt cry that urges us to confront the forces which threaten what is left of the Australian family in the new millennium. | |||||

Synopsis: | Jack Cullen is a criminal lawyer in crisis: He feels he has stretched the bounds of morality in pursuit of victory so often that he no longer can claim a standard. Compounding this his twenty-three year old heroin-addicted daughter's inability to recover bewilders him to the core. More importantly his affair with her best friend when she was just sixteen seems to lie at the heart of her disengagement with life. Things come to a head for Cullen when he goes into an environmental business venture with one of his more questionable clients, Davies. Both these men look to this deal as a socially credible profit-venture, but things unravel when Davies fifteen-year-old son falls in love with Cullen's daughter, Helen. | |||||

Synopsis: | When seeking asylum puts you in one. . .A madcap fantastical comedy/drama about a writer, Brown, who 'jumps' from the ledge of the 'real world' into a burlesque world of his own creation. But when the fictional characters of Brown's invention start turning on him, and blurring with people from his 'real world', Brown's oasis becomes a nightmare. All Brown needs to do is not to take himself so seriously. . .If only that were possible when everyone is laughing at him. . . | |||||
