Both left mysteriously for the big city, and both feel they have 'fallen' from grace for different reasons.

Synopsis: | Cross Sections goes beyond the neon buzz of the Coke sign and a tourist's stroll along Darlinghurst Road and allows us to spend 24 hours in the Sydney's quintessential 'red light district'. A play that is populated by a parade of stunningly vulnerable characters, it explores the heart and soul of an underground community with rules of its own. There's young rent boy Aaron, searching for The Goddess (Leeanne, a prostitute who breathed him back to life), David-the-married-with-kids city corporate who in turn is searching for Aaron. Lou picks up fares while runaways Amelia and Fung-Lee hatch a plan, and elderly Enid endlessly sweeps the streets. | |||||

Synopsis: | A story of relationships, betrayal and justice as two former jury members Ella and Julian meet up for a hot night of passion acting on previously undeclared feelings - the truth is not what it seems and amidst the sexual and psychological tension arise issues of loyalty, truth and betrayal with the final verdict being one on relationships generally. Do we interpret the actions of others in ways that suit us or is there a universal we can rely on? Do we desire people for who they are or for who we perceive them to be? What is truth and do we ever really know the people we are involved with? In a world that is increasingly uncertain what is certain and what is just? | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | A horrific crime is committed sending shock waves through the victim's family. The silence that engulfs the victims grand-daughter, 19 year old Amelie, has its own eerie trauma. While the media and public express sensationalist horror those who new the victim have to come to terms with a new way of being in the world. Amelie is ages 19, 20, 25 and 34. The journey that she takes is personal and eventful in the disturbing way that every victim of crime has to find a way to still live in the world as it now appears. Amelie explores every part of her being - her sexuality, her desires, her past, her relationships and her country. Simultaneously exploring the excruciating and conflictual need for revenge, and the need to continue to exist in a now foreign world, it is a story that reveals the process of return. | |||||

Synopsis: | SOLD is the tracking of lives that have become cluttered with the materialism of our new Australia - a new world where mortgage insecurity and consultant employment are the norm, relationships are contracted out, and intimacy is relegated to the too-hard basket. How did we all get sold on this version of life? When enough people silently relent, the complicity of the rest of us is somehow drawn to the fore. Anthony, Hilary, Stan, Jen and Mandy struggle with their own emotional lives and each are trying to 'make it all work', yet the further they retreat from something real the more they fall. While all aspiring to the great sale - what have they each relinquished to be a player in a world where money spells success - where positive thinking is the new religion? It is only in dealing with our own life tragedies and losses that we can be alive enough to be part of humanity generally. A bitingly funny and intensely acerbic look at real estate, relationships and run-away failure! | |||||

Will events force Simon to step outside the prison his new identity has become and does the community have the right to know his true identity? | |||||
