1 Degenerate Art Toby Schmitz , 2018 single work drama

'A twice-rejected art school applicant rises to political power through the use of charm, cunning and violence. From there, he declares merciless war on ‘cultural disintegration’, ordering an aesthetic purge of the entartete Künstler - the ‘degenerate artists’ - and their work.

'As a result, between 1933 and 1945 one fifth of all artworks in Europe - valued at billions of dollars - are looted by, or have their sale coerced by, the Nazis.'

1 1 Empire : Terror on the High Seas Toby Schmitz , 2013 single work drama historical fiction mystery

'Christmas, 1925. Somewhere on the Atlantic. Welcome aboard the ocean liner Empress of Australia as it steams towards New York with a full complement of passengers – a Chicago bag-man, a South African fighter pilot, a London society ‘it’ girl, a serial killer, and one dogged ship’s detective. The scene is set for a murder mystery at sea. What unravels is far darker. Prepare yourselves for a rough crossing.

This epic new play by Toby Schmitz is directed by Schmitz’s long time collaborator, Rock Surfers Artistic Director Leland Kean. After their 2012 critically acclaimed and award winning production, 'I Want to Sleep with Tom Stoppard', Schmitz and Kean bring to life one of the most ambitious and epic productions to hit Sydney stages in 2013.

Be transported back to the high-water mark of the British Empire for the kind of Gothic thrills that will leave you haunted long after you disembark the Empress.' (Source: http://rocksurfers.org/empire/ )
1 5 I Want To Sleep With Tom Stoppard Toby Schmitz , 2012 single work drama 'Luke is going out with Sarah, a brilliant actress who’s a bit older than him. And a lot more dangerous.Sarah crashes a dinner at his parents’ house. Tom and Jackie are regular theatre subscribers who know how to put on a gourmet spread. Their opinions immediately unleash the lunatic in Sarah. Or perhaps she was always coming over to detonate some bourgeois domesticity. Perhaps she’s set off by Tom’s worrying views about the death of theatre and the powerlessness of artists, or maybe it’s his hand under the table. Whatever the case, something sets her off and she decides to show them all just how much power a good actress has in her arsenal.' Source: http://rocksurfers.org/ (Sighted 21/08/2012).
