1 1 All the Shining Lights Brendan Hogan , 2023 single work drama

'All The Shining Lights is a story about courage and wisdom. 

'A story about Charli and John and an aeroplane — one young, one old, all lost.

'Charli is bold, headstrong and desperate to soar over the hurdles life throws in her way. 

'John is old, bitter and afraid of what comes next. 

'The Uiver is an aeroplane caught up in a storm with no map, no guide, and nowhere to land.

'At a time when so much of the world feels lost and adrift, Charli flies into John’s room at Sunset Oaks and into his heart. Together they unlock the dramatic rescue of the Uiver plane and the little pearls of wisdom we all need, to face life and to face death.

'This is a story of then and now and what is yet to come. 

'Based on the emergency landing of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines DC-2 ‘UIVER’ , Albury Racecourse 1934.'

'You are in severe heart failure. I’m sending you to the city.

'From farm to little town to big town and back again, HER comes face to face with her own mortality. Unable to access the specialist care she needs in the country, she travels the long journey in and out of the city confronting the ultimate journey to save herself, alone.

'As she prepares to go under, HER past returns. HER truth can no longer remain buried. On the operating table HER chest is cracked open, unleashing a scream from depths unknown, spilling out a poetic and lyrical avalanche of words unspoken and desires unfulfilled. When she wakes, she is no longer the same.

'Based on a true story, Kerryn Beatty‘s HER explores the conditioning and social expectations on girls and women in regional Australia, examining the depths we must travel inward, to reclaim ourselves.

'A beautiful, poetic and visual feast.' (Publication summary)

1 6 y separately published work icon Love Patricia Cornelius , 2003 Hobart : Australian Script Centre , 2004 Z1226600 2003 single work drama (taught in 1 units) 'Tanya, Annie and Lorenzo are on the bottom of the heap. They're young but already the youth has been wrung out of them. They've been abused, they're abusive, and they're difficult to like let alone to love. But it is love in all its distorted and mutated forms that holds them together. Annie and Tanya make a pact; their love will protect them from an unloving world and it will endure. Even the dreadful and charming Lorenzo will not threaten it. Only doubt in each other's love can put a wedge between them.' (Back cover, Currency Press, 2006)
