| Parts: | Male | 9 | Female | 6 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | 2039 is an edgy, satiric, black comedy that looks to the future to examine the present. Directed by Brendan O'Connell, this dark, dystopian political thriller will use eye-catching multimedia techniques, including the integration of live and pre-recorded video and sound. Featuring the diverse acting talents of Tantrum's Senior Ensemble, this new play by one of Newcastle's most popular dramatists will explore ideas about religion, freedom, uses of technology, surveillance, terrorism, celebrity, and notions of reality. The play is set in a futuristic location know as Betaville and follows Gretchen Appleby, a young woman who lives in Zone Two and spends her life dreaming of living like a celebrity in Zone One. She is a member of the Church of Kronos, an organisation that controls Betaville and to which all citizens must be loyal. A series of troubling events alter the course of Gretchen's path when she is thrust headfirst into a maze of lies and violence that endangers not just her own life, but that of the people closest to her. In her search for the truth about her own past, Gretchen becomes inextricably linked to a greater plot to overthrow the political regime and change the course of the future. | |||||

Being Sellers is the hilarious and confronting unmasking of a tortured Goon. Carl Caulfield's one man show brilliantly exploits the theatricality of Sellers' chameleon art. There is a gallery of memorable characters over a lifetime and Caulfield recreates them all in one night! | |||||

| Parts: | Male | 5 | Female | 2 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Dante's Dream is an exciting and ambitious dramatisation of the artistic impulse through the weird and tragic life of the brilliant pre-Raphaelite artist, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Rossetti's paintings of his muses, the doomed Lizzie Siddal and later Janey Morris, the wife of one of his best friends, shocked and captivated Victorian England with their sexual power. The great art critic John Ruskin recognised his genius, but Rossetti's life - and that of fellow travellers such as the decadent libertine poet Charles Swinburne and even Ruskin himself - descended into drugs, perversion and madness. Set in London in the 1850s, Dante's Dream will take you into a world where creativity and passion collide with reality. It's a rich and colourful tapestry of ideas, full of zest for life and art and humanity. | |||||

Synopsis: | Newcastle landlord Norm Piggot suffers from student rage. Twenty years of renting out properties to students have given him prostate problems and anger management issues. There's a button in the middle of his forehead, he says, and students keep pressing it. One particular group of no-hoper Arts undergraduates sharing in Islington have stretched him to boiling point, flouting his no pets allowed rule, whinging about the water heater and stealing his property. The hapless pushers of his button include Matty, the eternal student and armchair existentialist; his side-kick Phil Mould, Tarantinoesque auteur and Shoot-out veteran; cat loving, rule flouting Phoebe, house Nazi and closet trumpet player Yvette; radical feminist and luscious lesbian Mary Jo; the Broadway musical loving engineering student Tom; and Todd "Trotsky" McGrath, a student activist fast on his way to ALP pre-selection. Then there's Nick Gano, a go getting enterpeneur who's so impeccably dressed he can only be dealing drugs. When Yvette presents Norm with a list of demands, his button gets overloaded. He's about to blow and when he does, it won't be pretty. But, as the housemates discover, Norm has secrets of his own. | |||||
