Synopsis: "How can you take a man's death and turn it into television?" A loving family preparing for the end. A filmmaker struggling to stay. A nation hungry for its next TV dinner. How far should you go to put something on screen? What should you film? What shouldn't you? A final breath. A dying wish. A living need. Ben Ellis's searing new play forces us to confront life's final taboo.

Synopsis: bitingly funny portrait of a self-obsessed couple, a fiendish employer, and their bizarre reactions to a tragic event. It is a savage satire of three baby-boomers fighting in a mire of their own waking. Fiercely theatrical, this deeply black comedy has been awarded both the inaugural Malcolm Robertson Prize and The Patrick White Playwrights Award

Synopsis: The story of what a "typical" Australian father, mother, daughter and son become when confronted with the stories of asylum-seekers: nightmares, dreams and, sometimes, penguins. Transforming the play's documentary material (which includes court and inquiry transcripts, statements by immigration ministers, interviews with detention centre workers and asylum-seekers themselves) - the play highlights the dramatic Australian response to the refugee story of recent times, with terrifying consequences for the lives of father, mother, daughter and son in their Sydney home.
