| Synopsis: | Theodora's hung around nuns, been transported by Bach, wept at the beauty of the Sufis, and underlined everything in The Tibetan Book of the Dead. She also loves Celeste: their life together is abundant, bliss ridden, meant-to-be, made in Heaven. . . or is it? How can she find a home for her spiritual instincts whan religions condemn the very love of her life? Pushing past the pontiffs of dogma, Theodora sets out to reconcile her two sources of joy. While entrusted with the body of a fractal-loving priest, she sings with evolved fish who live in fruitcakes: stops Mother Church passing pethidine to a man who is pregnant with possibility: takes the helm of Magellan's ship and circumnavigates the ever-expanding universe; and dives off the edge of chaos to discover the beginnings of a millennial pendulum swing towards conscience and radical compassion. It's Monty Python and The Science Show meets existential angst! A genre-crossing adventure through a chaotically absurd landscape. | |||||

![]() | 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. | |||||
