1 1 Johnny Castellano is MINE Emma Gibson , 2014 single work drama

'Johnny Castellano is Mine is a tour-de-force solo work written by Canberra playwright Emma Gibson.

'Alice is accomplished, poised, perfect, until she falls in love with Johnny Castellano. Trapped within her own memory, she recounts the story of her first great love, but cracks begin to show.

'Recounting and responding to classic fairy tales, Johnny Castellano is Mine is a story of obsession, repression, and rebellion... but most of all, an enduring love.' (Source: Production website)
1 2 Widowbird Emma Gibson , 2012 single work drama
1 2 Love Cupboard Emma Gibson , 2010 single work drama

Warren has a secret. Two years ago his schoolgirl girlfriend Annabel went missing, and her family and friends fear she is dead. But Warren knows the truth. Having run away to be with him, she hides in his cupboard by day and spends her nights with him. During her lonely days, Annabel keeps herself entertained through books and daydreams.

'But with the outside world closing in on them, Annabel can't stay hidden forever and the truth will come out.

'Part whimsical fantasy, part comedy and part drama and all love story, "Love Cupboard" explores the darkness and light we all hold within.'
