| Tim, an airline pilot and Angela, his young, beautiful wife, live the successful urban dream in a streamlined apartment in the inner city. One night a friend of Angela's, Dez, pays them a visit. There's just one problem: Angela flatly denies she's ever met him, and despite Dez's growing protestations, she wants him out. Rejected and humiliated, Dez leaves. But not before making some seemingly ominous threats. Now Angela and Tim are having trouble readjusting. Dez has thrown their comfortable lives out of kilter and fear of future incursions escalates. Enter Dick, private eye smarmy and menacing by turns, a Man who Makes Things Happen. Though he charges by the hour and his approach is definitely unconventional, Dick may be exactly what the situation requires. . . | |||||

| Somewhere in middle Australia, the townsfolk of a small town are sick and looking for someone to blame. That is, until a man emerges from their midst. He is on a mission, and with skills as a surgeon, physician and pharmacist, he begins to fire up the townsfolk with his promises (for he is a great orator too). Only he can cure the disease, providing the townsfolk follow his direction without deviation. As he sets about his task of healing the town with an evangelical zeal, almost all are convinced. Except, not everyone is happy. The cure also carries strange side-effects. The pub is empty, the brothel is going out of business, the two-up ring is silent, food is bland, the horses don't race, the football remains un-kicked, arguments are not had, sex has become stale. Truth be told, the men have become dull and proud, the women hard and distant. Is it really better to be cured and living like this? A small minority begins to emerge. They don't want to be cured by the Doctor and have a plan to save themselves. But the majority will not be shifted. All must be cured. Blisteringly funny and provoking in equal measures, Quack is a salient reminder that we alone create our own destiny and our own demons. | |||||

Synopsis: | Sydney 2061: Ewan has just busted out of prison. Branded a war criminal he's out to clear his name. Stepping into a post-greenhouse world of biotech monstrosities, technologically super-charged idealism and corporate-government hybrids, Ewan vows to stop a cargo-load of humans apparently destined for off-planet mining. With most of the planet either dug-up or burnt-up is Ewan saving humanity or hastening its damnation? Ewan may have picked the wrong day to break out of prison. | |||||

| Torrez knows how to kick a football. But at thirty-something hes on the wrong side of his playing career. His frazzled manager Foxy believes a media career beckons, but there may be one too many skeletons in the Torrez closet to get this sporting legend on primetime in the way theyd like. And then theres the terrible possibility that one of the skeletons has fallen out of the closet and is waiting at the front door for an autograph. A raucously funny expose of the world of celebrity and sport, and the longings at the heart of Australian masculinity. Features two of the worst-behaved men seen on the Australian stage for a long time. | |||||
