At Any Cost?, David Williamson , Mohamed Khadra , single work drama
'Faith, a seventy-seven year old woman is gravely ill. The family must decide whether her intensive care treatment should be prolonged. Her husband Des loves her dearly and can’t bear to have any part in ending her life, but her three children vary sharply in their attitudes. The power of modern medicine can prolong life but is there any point if the life prolonged is poor? The family conflict becomes intense, generating both dark humour and shock as devastating family secrets are inevitably revealed.' Source: www.noosalongweekend.com/ (Sighted 21/06/2011).
Managing Carmen, David Williamson , single work drama

'Brent Lyall has it all. At 23 years old he has a beautiful girlfriend, two Brownlow medals, and he's already the captain of one of the most powerful football clubs in the land. There's just one small hitch. Occasionally he enjoys dressing up in women's clothes. Uncovering his client's penchant for cross dressing, Brent's wily agent Rohan Swift swings into damage control to prevent the devastating truth from coming out. The media already has a whiff of the story and the humiliation of a public outing would spell the end of the athlete's career, not to mention the mountains of cash they're both making through endorsements.

'Inevitably, the AFL player's addiction is irrepressible and his alter ego must be set free. ' (Production summary)

Nothing Personal, David Williamson , single work drama
Rhinestone Rex and Miss Monica, David Williamson , single work drama
'What do a classical musician and retired country and western singer have in common? Not a lot according to Monica (Georgie Parker) who really just wants Gary, aka Rhinestone Rex (Glenn Hazeldine), to do the job he’s being paid for and renovate her kitchen. She hates his taste in music, his attitudes to women and the plinths he wants to put on her kitchen cabinets. Gary can’t find much about Monica to recommend to anyone but still finds her attractive in a cold, rigid and inflexible kind of way. Can they find a way past all their conflicts towards a harmonious and fulfilling relationship? Or will their differences keep them from making beautiful music together?'

When Dad Married Fury, David Williamson , single work drama
'Alan is rich. Very rich. How he made his money is the subject of some debate, but as the main beneficiaries of his will, Ian and Ben aren't going to question their father's ethics too closely. Ben's wife Laura, however, is a lefty with scruples, so Alan's seventy-fifth birthday celebrations were never going to be conflict free. When Alan introduces his new wife to the family, Fury proves to be a force to be reckoned with... after all she's beautiful, American and - young... A searing black comedy from David Williamson set right on the religious and political fault lines of contemporary Australia.' (Source: Ensemble Theatre website)
