Generation B

Synopsis:
When Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Strife, is humiliated in front of her fellow Olympians by Zeus's refusal to give her a sip of ambrosia, she vows to seek revenge! Eris infiltrates the sacred beehive that creates the ambrosia and, on the pretext of giving them a 'gift' for their faithful service, she imbues the bees with human personalities and ensconces herself as the Queen's new adviser. Immediately the hive's harmonious hierarchy crumbles. The supply of ambrosia is cut off, Zeus is left high and dry, and Eris engages in a battle of wits against one faithful bee who struggles to save them all.

Seven Deadly Australian Sins

Synopsis:
It's a wicked world isn't it? We've all been a little wicked at times, it spices up our lives. Luckily, wickedness never goes out of fashion and 7 writers and performers from the furthest corners of the Australian continent have come together to create a carnivalesque cabaret extravaganza exploring just a few of the great sins of the modern world. In a world gone mad, Josh is accused of Un-Australian behaviour - he's a vegetarian at a B-B-Q, so he's off to hell. Workers at a local banana processing factory take greed to its full extent in order to get the best deal from the new work agreement
