Synopsis: | This is an invitation. New lands are being created. Memory, now and the future are pouring onto the internet. Reality is splintering into shards of mirror and a casual, congenial bear is showing up at people's houses. If you've had a bad day at school, he'll take you back to where it all went wrong. Or he may invite you to the woods a place of myth, transgression and discovery, where outcasts can start again but with grave consequences. | |||||

Synopsis: | Under extreme threat, people are capable of anything, monsters appear. On the cobble-stone streets of medieval Prague, chaos reigns. As the men fight their own demons, and each other, children are disappearing. An invisible emperor has decreed a purging of the Ghetto, and a Rabbi works through the dark night to fashion an avenging monster. Our enduring fascination with the myths of vampires, demons and werewolves, has haunted our children and hemorrhaged our literature for millennia. But long before Dr Frankenstein's monster there was the Golem; a superhuman figure fashioned from mud and endowed with terrible strength. Playwright Lally Katz has deftly weaved humour, philosophy and fantasy to create a gothic and romantic rendering of this classic myth. Director Michael Kantor returns to the Merlyn Theatre stage to inject mischief, magic and soaring Yiddish melodies into this cautionary tale of monumental proportions. In their hands, this monster becomes even more; a troubling yet seductive mirror to our contemporary selves. | |||||

Notes: | performance information from contact@theyellowagency.com | |||||
| And God said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour. He obviously hadn't reckoned on Ana. Neighbourhood Watch is a glorious new comedy about hope, death and pets. It's a classic odd-couple story: opposites attract, and from each other they gain a new understanding. But as the domestic crises accumulate, Neighbourhood Watch takes on a sense of enormity in the midst of the ordinary that would make Patrick White proud. Katz is a true original and in Neighbourhood Watch her spirit of curiosity turns optimism into an art form. | |||||

| Smashed is a tale of 'besties' Hazel and Ruby. On the verge of adulthood, the future is bright & the past is a disco blur. With impossible high heels stalking through black holes, diva hair and a map to anywhere, these girls know how to play dress-up and how to make believe. But in this doll's house universe of memory and fantasy, of unrestrained joy and discordant elegy, the game becomes increasingly desperate when an impending tragedy threatens to blow everything apart. | |||||
