'The world has changed, but life goes on.

'Post- looks at the minutiae of modern life in the aftermath. In the shadow of catastrophe life endures and Post- excavates the domestic, the dreary, the humorous and the heartbreaking as we search for meaning and connection. Funny and moving, Post- is a brand-new playreading from the creators of Just a Boy, Standing in Front of a Girl, Cuckoo and The Yellow Wave.'

'From the creative team behind The Yellow Wave comes a darkly comic take on a well-known tale. Just a Boy Standing in Front of a Girl follows J and M as they fall in love and hit the road in search of fame and fortune. A contemporary and subversive re-imagining of events surrounding a classic text, Just a Boy is a parable of the patriarchy that shows what happens when you're young, talented, smart, strong and female!'

'At last Kenneth Mackay’s 400-page Australian classic of 19th century literature comes to vivid life in 70 action-packed minutes. An epic saga of Love, Heroism and Sacrifice, The Yellow Wave is a prescient tale of War, Passion and Boat Arrivals featuring a huge cast of characters, exciting set pieces, a vast array of questionable accents and just two actors, The Yellow Wave is an invasion like no other.'

'Mel and Leo are like a lot of couples. They live in the present, accommodate the past and anticipate a future consisting of half  made plans they’ll probably never realise. One night a young man arrives on their doorstep  with tales of amnesia, stolen bikes, Russians and an almost insatiable appetite for toast. Could he be the son they lost 12 years earlier or simply a clever stranger seeking to inveigle his way into their home?'

'True love will find you in the end. It’s just a shame when it’s this close to home. It’s the classic story of what happens when a boy meets a girl who just happens to be his mother. 15 Minutes from Anywhere takes on the Greeks and Romans in a tale of murder, blind love and sexual attraction.

'Classical theatre reimagined.'

'Set in rural Australia, True Love Travels on a Gravel Road is a new Australian comedy-drama about ordinary people going to extraordinary lengths in pursuit of a dream.

'All of his life Jake has been patronised and pegged as the town “tard” but when he falls in love with Maggie anything seems possible.  Making Maggie’s dream of going to Graceland becomes his quest, and a chance to escape the small country town that has labeled him a loser. All that stands in Jake’s way are the town’s locals, including Maggie’s husband, her straight-talking mother, local hard man and philospher Richard, plus Jake’s boss and his wife.'

'... on choice and broken dreams, set in a photocopy centre in a regional town ... a bungled heist story ... that is finally very moving and human.'
