'A month is a wholly irrational division of time. It has no relation to anything in astronomy or human experience. A month is nothing but just a bad habit. In a quiet private room, a group of billionaires gather to debate time, while two long-suffering political staffers try the impossible, actually get something meaningful done before they get voted out. The plan? Compromising on their morals and get the ultra-rich to throw their weight and money behind adding a 13th month and tricking them into unwittingly endorsing a more socialist work week, by preying on their desire to play God. All this is in exchange for lifting sanctions on a self-titled fascist politician so the billionaires can do business with him. But everything has a price, and it’s more than a public servant’s salary.

'This play is inspired by real events, a real idea, and a real committee that existed...twice! This show imagines a third meeting of a satirical and cynical nightmare on the run-up, or blunder-up, to this project.'

'Set in the small fictional town of Turneybull, in rural NSW, two loveable 16 year-old misfits - besties Taz and Shontelle - decide to take democratic measures into their own hands by hatching a plan to steal all the postal surveys during Australia’s 2017 same sex marriage plebiscite.

'Presented by multi-award winning theatre makers Rogue Projects, Kasia Vickery’s debut comedy Taz vs The Pleb is a fast-paced heist parody for ages 14+, jam-packed with high octane action adventure as Taz and Shontelle dodge a revolving door of wacky townsfolk in a race to rig the survey.

'It is a colourful celebration of queer friendship, community and grassroots revolution.

'Because sometimes you have to break the rules to change them...

'This new work is a dedication to the community of young LGBTQIA+ people who were robbed of their democratic voice and agency during the plebiscite. We wanted to find a way to talk about this recent part of Australian history in a new, celebratory, and joyful light. In this imagined town the adults are the villains, and the young people the heroes, in a parody of the heist action adventure genre. We hope that through the play’s representation of young queer voices and identities we can inspire young people to see make theatre. It is through laughter that we believe we can continue to foster community and connection across generations.'

'It’s the year 2021, the world is in the midst of a global pandemic, and we are experiencing a new kind of silence; the streets void of activity, the echo of empty buildings, the muteness of zoom meetings. In the wake of this international crisis six women begin to speak. They share stories, they share truths, they share space.

'Throughout history silence has been weaponised, a convenient and devastating way to keep the peace. This play interweaves verbatim stories and scripted text with movement and sound to interrogate the reverberations of history’s use of silence.

'How loud is your silence?'

'Nina’s waters have broken early.

'She knows it’s a girl.

'She doesn’t know if she wants it.

'Nina lies in a pool of her own amniotic fluid in Darwin Hospital, alone and paralysed by indecision. Slowly losing her grip on reality, she is visited by her best friend who dreams of a different life for her, and an apparition of her mother as a young woman who will do anything to be forgiven. And maybe that thing slithering around in her ultrasound isn’t a baby at all…

'Ciella Williams’ haunting writing balances power, trauma, and unlikely friendships with care and humour in this funny and heartbreaking instant Australian classic.

'Conceived just days after giving birth to her own daughter, Williams’ Hush cuts through our cultural narratives about motherhood – instead diving into the real fears and harsh realities of young women faced with this transformation.'

'A comedy, a tragedy - a tale of sea eagles, of pole dancing and childhood dreams, of rock and roll, of love and friendships which have stood the test of time.

'Until now. 

'Jackie, Elizabeth, Frances and Susan met at high school. They became besties, hit London in the sixties and then carved out very different lives for themselves.  Now, they don't see each other as often, but always make it a rule to meet up once a year for a girl's night out.

'But this year is different.

'The most radical member of their group is in crisis. To offer their support, the women take her back to her country home for a weekend - to relax and let their hair down. What could possibly go wrong?

'A fascinating original work inspired by an infamous slice of Sydney history.

'It’s 1944. The murdered and unidentified PYJAMA GIRL, preserved in formaldehyde for ten years, rises up to solve the case herself. A cabaret-style musical, the show explores identity, obsession, the fragility of truth, and what the living owe the dead. The Pyjama Girl puts the eponymous corpse in control of her own story, confronting the de-personification of victims of violence at the hands of both perpetrator and public. The show is fast-paced and dynamic, featuring original songs which are great to sing and full of wit and energy.'
