Stef Smith ) Australia : Photoplay Films , 2022 25524210 2022 series - publisher film/TV

'IT'S FINE, I'M FINE is a happy/sad short-form series that follows a suburban psychologist and the ups and downs of her patients as they explore love, loss, anxiety, obsession and the uncertain future ahead. It celebrates the mess and melancholy of life with elements of unexpected magical realism. In times of turmoil we seek comfort in stories of hope, humility and the human condition. The series asks, for all of humanity’s idiosyncrasies and flaws, how or why do we choose to persist and find the magic?'

1 Qween Lear Nick Coyle , 2022 single work drama

'Two parts theatrical extravaganza, one part dance floor, Qween Lear explores the demise of Sydney’s party era through the tale of an ageing drag matriarch abdicating their nocturnal throne. Forget what you know about cabaret and music theatre – this is an electrifying theatre experience and a party in one hit.'

1 1 y separately published work icon The Feather in the Web Nick Coyle , 2018 Redfern : Currency Press , 2018 13952399 2018 single work drama

'“I’m like a chimpanzee because I’m mischievous and I’m stronger than a man.”

'Kimberly is a character like no other. She’s powerful, wicked, in control—but she has no voice. So she sets out to find it, leaving a trail of car crashes and crying people in her wake. Then she meets Miles. And she’ll do anything he says.

'From engagement parties to team-building weekends to improv comedy, The Feather in the Web is an unpredictable take on infatuation and self-discovery. Skewering our obsession with couples and careers, it asks just how much we’re willing to give (and lose) for love.'

1 1 Blue Wizard Nick Coyle , 2015 single work drama humour

'Presented in association with Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras

'The Future, Earth: An intergalactic gay wizard gets stranded on the side of a mountain where he casts spells and dances magic dances in an attempt to return to his home comet, OK?

'Nick Coyle is a comic genius. His aim, in his own words, is to make the gayest one-man show ever. Blue Wizard unites cheap spectacle, super camp theatre magic, song, puppetry, storytelling and highly original costume design – to tell the story of a gay alien who has to learn to live like an ordinary human being…

'Blue Wizard is a brilliant act of subversion dressed up to look like a queer bimbo in an electric blue wig. The result is hilarious, but it is also an oddly moving reflection on the growing sense that time is running out for the world as we know it, and if we don’t get our act together soon, well… let’s just say there’ll be no more jizz and diamonds, and what will we ever do then?'

1 Hammerhead (Is Dead) Nick Coyle , 2009 single work drama

'Hammerhead is the story of three teenage orphan whores in a decaying country house, in a once proud property, in an endless drought, in another Great Depression, just trying to get by. The world they inhabit is musical, funny and rural. Not only can the animals talk, they never shut up. Hammerhead is the answer to your questions.

'Written by Nick Coyle, from the trail-blazing wunderkind trio that is Pig Island comes this new tale of the familiar, the bizarre, and the bizarrely familiar. Pig Island rob ideas from the best kind of theatre and beat them into a blinding orb of entertainment for you.'
