Rick Viede

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.

Synopsis:

Currah, the sensitive, defiant, and once molested indigenous girl, is now a literary sensation. But Currah isnt what she appears as race, politics and identity collide in this vicious contemporary satire on the peddling of abuse culture. Hilarious, provocative and troubling, this is incisive theatre at its most shocking.

Synopsis:

Young, fearless and full of wanderlust Sara finds herself in London selling cleaning products in a call centre. Then she meets Tim, and her path takes an unexpected turn. For these two Aussies living it large in London everything is exhilarating, delightfully dangerous and full of possibility. When a body is discovered in the apartment upstairs the thrill of anonymity gives way to rising horror as Sara finds herself at the very edge of the person she once was. With originality and poetic wit, Whore is an unflinching exploration of the price of freedom, ambition and the high-risk ride that is coming-of-age
