Notes: | Original Playwright - Maxim Gorky. Based on Vassa Zheleznova | |||||
| In 1909 Maxim Gorky wrote Vassa Zheleznova, a savage comedy about a Russian family at war over money, entitlement and the march of progress. But Vassa Zheleznova also relates to one of the great Australian themes: how we hauled ourselves out of our working class past and set out on the road to a relaxed and comfortable future. | |||||

Synopsis: | Victoria is a painter facing creative stagnation; Jenny is Victoria's elder sister and patron, a barrister trying to make it as a woman in a man's world; Rowena, Jenny's lover, is completing her PhD in Women's Studies; Rowena's adopted Indian sister Bridget is a health professional working with dying patients; Anne is at home all day with a young daughter; Emma is television's most popular newsreader; and Dominique has re-entered their lives after a bitter period of estrangement. As the play moves backward and forwards in time, sisters and friends confront their long-standing rivalries, jealousies and resentments. And all the while, one of the seven moves unknowingly towards her own death. A Moment on the Lips is about the difficult search for meaning and fulfilment in life, our ability to rise to the challenges life throws at us, and the powers we all have for transformation. | |||||

| Over three years, Australia's new writing theatre, Griffin Theatre Company, presented fourteen unique short plays across its mainstage season. Seen for one night only, The fates, Seasons and The Seven Needs were three play cycles provoked by the classical mythology of man's inescapable destiny, the seasonal patterns and Maslow's Pyramid of Human Needs. Now , this eclectic and fascinating collection of ten minute plays by some of the country's most established and emerging playwrights becomes Short Circuit. | |||||
