AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Looking for love in all the wrong places? Can’t seem to find that special someone to share the rest of your life with? In fact, why even do the looking - let Nas take the worry and uncertainty out of finding ‘The One’ by arranging your marriage today!

'A comedy-drama about Nas’s latest quest - to match and make the marriages of lovelorn Australians at his newly established marriage agency. With compassion and curiosity ‘The Marriage Agency’ asks us to investigate and laugh about our best intentions, and our fallibility as humans.'
