Synopsis: Melbourne at the end of the twentieth century. . . modern economic miracle or a society imploding with savage politics and despair? The characters in these plays have been crushed, frustrated, isolated, as well as battered by the grim consumerism of the 1990s. But they are survivors, resilient to the end. This collection presents a gritty portrayal of real life in an urban wasteland.

Notes: -
Synopsis: A vignette in which a man and a woman meet in a park and their idle small-talk belies a mysterious relationship and sublimated attraction. The play uses contemporary urban surrealism to convey a sense of disjointedness, and there's a nod to absurdism in its dialogue

Notes: -
Synopsis: The Room is a play for one actor which unfolds within the claustrophobic dimensions of a room, surrounded on all sides by a projected landscape of the man in the room's eerie imaginings. The man interacts with various 'ghosts' from his past and ritualizes his obsessions with the few remaining objects left at his disposal. His situation becomes increasingly more bizarre until he is engulfed by madness. The play is non-naturalistic. It is a metaphysical journey into the central characters soul. Meaning slowly disintegrates, rationality slowly crumbles, past and present are fused into a continuous verbal monologue.

Notes: -
Synopsis: St Kilda Tales was inspired by real people who live around the vibrant suburb of St Kilda in Melbourne, where the writer and various members of Ranters Theatre have lived for a number of years. But while the St Kilda milieu inspires the production, St Kilda Tales is not an attempt to represent St Kilda on the stage; in fact St Kilda's heterogeneous community is the springboard into a contemporary urban ritual. The project is entirely non-representational, and utilises the anarchic energy of the performers in an organic framework to explore and celebrate the complex diversity of urban life. St Kilda Tales strips away literary excesses, theatrical conventions and technical distractions to create a unique experience for the audience.
