Fun in a Cup

Fun in a Cup
A short, sharp, evocative collection of monologues written by some of Australias leading young and established playwrights. Each piece is crafted for an actor aged between 16 and 20. Subtle, uplifting, poetic and funny, these pieces are as exciting and diverse as the young actors that perform them.

Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine

Synopsis:
Not-Nick makes money from people who are genuinely in love with him. In a conversation with Tim Spencer, the male sex worker (portrayed by Charles Purcell) tells us about his work, his family and his love life. This scripted interview is an alluring study of integrity and play acting, made volatile by the rules of theatre. the men gently pry into each other's lives and discover the sheer pleasure of generosity and candour. Widely held assumptions about sex work and theatre set up invisible cultural collisions between the two men, but if there is nothing risked, there is nothing gained.

Singled Out

Synopsis:
''Singled Out is a brand new inter-generational, multi-playwright project developed by creative producer and new work director Augusta Supple and supported by a professional production team of some of Sydneys most respected independent performers, musicians and playwrights. Responding to the prediction that by 2020, one in three living arrangements in Sydney will be that of solo households this new show is a heartfelt and hilarious adventure in the private lives of our neighbours, friends and relatives. Offering an insight into the lives of many, 'Singled Out' is a kaleidoscopic series of portraits  colliding and intersecting  revealing flights of fancy, the gentle musings or the robust reflections on what it means to be living alone in a thriving dynamic city. Harnessing the creative imaginations of some of Australias leading playwrights this is a unique celebration of our city, our private moments and public confessions  exploring the joy and freedom of solo living and the sometimes hidden realities of the solo living person.'
