 Guilt Sniffer, The         Pantry Shelf, The

Guilt Sniffer, The

Synopsis:
The satirical comedy is Auckland's answer to The Mentalist and Lie to Me. It's a satire about instinct, reason and finding justice in an unjust world. But mostly it's about the fraught relationship between New Zealand's most meticulous cop and her flamboyant partner, who can smell emotions. A serial killer's on the loose. He's killed Detective Ruth Wright's father. But her methodical precision isn't enough to bring the killer to justice. The pressure's on from Commissioner Swift to wrap it up pronto! She makes Wright join forces with Dr Robert MacBride aka The Guilt Sniffer. The only way Wright can solve her dad's murder is to overcome her obsession with evidence and trust her new partner's nose. The Guilt Sniffer started life as a short film, winning 3 awards at the Edinburgh 48 Hour Film Competition. Writers Mark Prebble and Marion Short then developed the script into a 10-minute play for Short+Sweet 2012. Marion will again lead the cast for the Auckland Fringe production reuniting with Short+Sweet cast members Matt Baker and Sheena Irving along with fellow Pantry Shelfers Ben van Lier and Michelle Blundell.

Pantry Shelf, The

Synopsis:
The satirical comedy is set on a pantry shelf and all the characters are food products. It explores branding, genetic engineering and consumerism, but mostly it's a love triangle between a rebellious Muesli Bar, a shy Bag of Porridge and a sexy Block of Dark Chocolate.
