1 Her Father's Daughter Keziah Warner , 2018 single work drama

A site-specific adaptation of Hedda Gabler, produced 'in the civic spaces of Prahran Council chambers to make resonant how privilege and inherited entitlement intersect with powerlessness and complacency; how our unfulfilled ambitions can implode and private identifications with inherited systems can impede women’s chances to be actual agents within society' (Source: Hotel Now).

1 What's Yours Is Mine Tom Halls , Simone French , Hayden Burke , 2016 single work drama

'How much am I worth?

'What would you do for all my possessions?

'Am I the sum of all my worldly goods?

'It's impossible to own anything – whether it is land, people or dilapidated dogs

'​The Australian dream in 2016 seems a little bit closer to a closet full of Gorman clogs than a hardworking man in a pair of thongs.

'What's Yours Is Mine explores ownership and Australian values, ripping at the seams of the Union Jack with perfectly manicured nails. Hotel Now excavates excess through centuries of pop culture: Antiques Roadshow, Pauline Hanson, The Chiko Roll and Ken Done. What's yours can be mine – as long as it's not my Thermomix.'

1 Nothing Special Tom Halls , Simone French , 2016 single work drama

'Katie’s parents raised her with a sense of optimism and unbounded possibility, sending her to the Academy for Gifted Individuals - A school for the self important. So why is Katie so unsatisfied? Is it because she is destined for something better? Is it because she knows she is unusually special and that she must stand out amongst the crowd?

'Nothing Special takes extremely talented people to average heights, to save you from your unrealistic expectations and a lifetime of disappointment.'

1 Sad Digger Mad Mary Tom Halls , 2015 single work drama

'‘Digger’ has abandoned his post and retreated to a bush shanty; living happily alone with his billy always on the boil, ‘Bluey’ by his side and an unshakeable memory of something more than mateship. A storm is brewing and an unexpected turn in the weather ushers in a magical therapist to set things str8, in a Practically Perfect way.

'Sad Digger Mad Mary is an unauthorised, unorthodox and unnerving depiction of a man confronting his desires and resisting forced reassimilation into society after service to the motherland, whatever that means. Let’s throw two coins in the air and see where they land this time around.'
