1 Softly, Surely Paul Gilchrist , Daniela Giorgi , 2022 single work drama

'Speak, and Life’s a tragedy,
'but sing, and it’s a comedy.
'Sing, say the wise,
'like no one’s listening.
'And no one is. Not for long.

'“Softly, Surely” by Daniela Giorgi and Paul Gilchrist is a one act contemporary comedy that asks ‘Is music a guide to Life’?

'After all,
'you got to listen,
'you got to join in,
'and though it always drives forward,
'the end is never the point.

'In “Softly, Surely” five Sydney-siders face the music – fractured families, broken dreams, impending mortality – and say ‘Please, one more time, from the top!’

1 Atlantis Paul Gilchrist , 2016 single work drama fantasy

'Sarah and Tom have made serious mistakes. They’re going under. Zelda says she can help. Zelda says they can stay. Zelda says she’s the one true heir of Atlantis. Sure, no-one’s got all the answers, but exactly how many are you allowed to get wrong? Comic magic realism by subtlenuance.'

1 1 Joan, Again Paul Gilchrist , 2014 single work drama

'In 1431, Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake.

'Ten years later she was back.

'Inspired by an incredible true story, critically acclaimed writer/director Paul Gilchrist explores one of the greatest frauds of all time.

'Very funny and deeply moving, Joan, Again is an uncannily contemporary expose of truth and lies, celebrity and identity.' (Production summary)

1 1 Rocket Man Paul Gilchrist , 2013 single work drama humour

'Veronica has an audition. This morning. But first she has to get rid of the man she brought home the night before. But Neil wants to stay. And wants her to stop. He loathes her profession, with a passion shockingly precise and white hot.

Blast off is always the most dangerous moment.

'Fiercely funny, Paul Gilchrist’s new play is a provocative exploration of stories and theatre and their power to rocket us to new worlds.'

1 A Thing of Beauty Paul Gilchrist , 2010 single work drama 'Naomi and Ruth are travelling. But change is a challenge. And Ruth craves simplicity. She finds it - in snow-domes, guidebooks, mannequins - anything to make the mayhem manageable.' Source: www.rocksurfers.org (Sighted 19/07/2010).
