Notes: -
Synopsis: This savage comedy of manners explores our relationship to art, globalisation, death, technology, America, Campari, cardboard boxes and slavery. Sewell's play is funny and shocking in turn. It holds the mirror up to the things we value today and asks the questions - what will we value the day the world just stops, and what would we be willing to trade for our own survival?

Parts Other:
-
Notes: -
Synopsis: This tough political thriller, based in the Liberal Arts department of New York University, is no play for the timid. But its violent language and extreme brutality, brilliantly choreographed, are essential elements for an enthralling study of a polarised world turned backto-front - a Kafka-esque nightmare of state terrorism condoned by liberty lovers in defence of the Land of the Free.

Notes: -
Synopsis: Part satire, part biting political critique, this Katrina-inspired play focuses on a small white family left behind in the rush to leave Louisiana ahead of a hurricane. Set in a Superdome, the play takes an irreverent look at an America knee deep in trouble as it tries to bring democracy to the Arabs when it can't even evacuate hospital patients from a storm. Playwright Sewell peels away layers from initial caricatures to reveal humanity beneath Chip and Jackie and their children, Randy and Ashley.
