'Here’s a situation you might’ve found yourself in: you go out for dinner with a group of friends and, before ordering, decide the bill will be split equally. Were you alone, or paying only for what you yourself ate, you’d probably order the least expensive option available (within reason), but what you really want to order is about ten dollars more than the item you’d pick if you were solely responsible for footing the bill.' (Editorial)

Mechanically Separated Turkey, Briohny Doyle , single work essay

'Pumpkin spice is not extracted from pumpkins. I thought about this for a long time before I googled it. A pumpkin is a bland thing-how do you get spice out of it? This question might make a few things clear. It's Halloween. I am in America. I am not American. Being a foreigner manifests acutely at the level of consumption. The money is different and so are the things you buy with it. Many interactions are framed through purchases. You feel better about yourself in a place you don't know when you discover what you like to buy and how to buy it.' (Introduction)

(p. 5-7)
The Critic in the Episode 'Freedom', Jana Perkovic , single work essay

'At a certain point in life, it becomes very hard to work in theatre and remain impartial to aesthetics. The Critic watched Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. at the Malthouse feeling very personally aggrieved by its failures. Janice Mueller’s direction drew deliberately and consciously from the arsenal of directorial gestures that were specific to central and northern-western European postdramatic theatre between 2000 and 2007, to the point where it could have been a painstaking historical reproduction, had it been intentionally referenced.' (Introduction)

(p. 15-18)
A Pig in Mud, Katerina Bryant , single work essay

'My great-grandmother's favourite type of animal was pigs. She moved to Australia from Torquay, England, following her husband, a soldier settler, across the world after World War I. They bought a farm and worked the land, raising sheep, cows, chickens and, of course, pigs. At first, she raised pigs as livestock but couldn't bear to part with them. Instead, she kept them as pets. The pigs would follow her and suck on her legs, pressing their snouts to the silk of her stockings.'

Singles Night, Jack Vening , single work essay

 'Not many people will tell you, but a few years ago I was struck by lightning as I crossed a bridge with my son, Harvey. I was holding Harvey at the time, so I guess you could say he was struck by lightning too.' (Introduction)

(p. 77-80)
