They Saw a Thylacine, Sarah Hamilton , Justine Campbell , single work drama
'They Saw a Thylacine: Out of the darkness, Sarah Hamilton and Justine Campbell conjure the ghost of one of Australia's lost beauties, the thylacine. With all the suspense of a campfire story, these feisty, funny women weave a lyrical tale of adversity and extinction. For this thylacine tracker and this zoo keeper's daughter, it's a quest not just to protect a threatened creature, but themselves. Rebellious and gutsy, these women face life and fight to survive.' (Publication summary)
Extinction, Hannie Rayson , single work drama

'The death of an endangered tiger quoll is the critical backdrop to an Australian story about our very survival.

'Andy Dixon is a vet who believes strongly in preserving the environment and our natural resources. When his lover, the determined conservation biologist Dr Piper Ross, agrees to undertake research paid for by the CEO of a mining company, he begins to question her methods and his feelings toward her.

'Little does she know that Andy has been diagnosed with a rare illness, and his life is in as much danger as the species she is trying to save.

'From the mind of Helpmann Award-winning Australian playwright, Hannie Rayson (Hotel Sorrento, Life After George), comes the world premiere of Extinction, a unique drama with a timely and important message of environmental awareness and conservation.' (Production summary)
The Honey Bees, Caleb Lewis , single work drama

'“He’d only have to whistle and they’d start swirling around him. Like the centre of a universe. And all the bees hanging like stars. This bright, glittering sphere…”

'As the world’s honeybees disappear, a family-owned apiary struggles to keep up with overseas demand. Driven by matriarch Joan’s iron will, the business continues to grow. And then Melissa arrives out of the blue. The Honey Bees is a tale of Family and Empire; Action and Consequences; and what happens when the bee finally stings.' (Production summary)
