'Based on true events, The Last Shot by Troy Russell is an intimate musical tale of romance, heartbreak and tragedy in colonial times. Star-crossed lovers Jimmy and Florrie take flight through Gomeroi Country, seeking refuge with strangers.

'One night, after singing and dancing at the local camp, a foreboding event catapults them into turmoil. Forced to make an escape, Jimmy and Florrie set off into the night followed by a landowner in pursuit of revenge. Drawing on a range of musical genres, and accompanied by archival imagery, The Last Shot is a story of romance and chaos, pulling on your heartstrings and lifting your spirits.'

'Jono is locked in a Fly In Fly Out (FIFO) gridlock; Mary is wrapped up in a high flying FIFO wife’s lifestyle; her sister Janey is locked in her house, sliding into delusion awaiting her FIFO husband’s return. Something’s gotta give! Will it take a tragedy to stop the slide?' (Production summary)

'Seven senior law men, in fine suits, meet on the shores of a harbour to discuss the 11 large boats that have just arrived. Should they be welcomed to country or should these seven clan representatives of the Dharug nation, people from what became known as Sydney, combine to get rid of the unwelcome visitors? They take a vote – it must be unanimous – and one of them reckons the visitors mightn’t be all bad. This is a powerful, imaginative response to the beginnings of modern Australia.'
