1 5 The Waiting Room Kylie Trounson , 2015 single work drama

'Authentic Australian stories are a rarity on our stages. Even rarer are stories as personal as this by Kylie Trounson, which grapples with the ordinary wonder of conceiving a child and the extraordinary heartbreak when you can't.

'Kylie was a child when her father Emeritus Professor Alan Trounson made breakthrough after breakthrough in fertility research. It was 1970s Melbourne and society was divided: was he a hero? Or a mad scientist playing God? The controversy swirled so close to her, yet she was far too young to understand how much was at stake. But now she can see it plain: that when we speak about conception we speak of the most profound things, of family and faith, our lives and our mortality, and our uncertain place in Nature.

'There was a world before IVF and a world after. Multi-layered and wide-ranging, The Waiting Room explores how they are not the same world. Created in collaboration with Naomi Edwards, the play received a rapturous response as part of the 2014 Cybec Electric play readings. Now Edwards makes her MTC mainstage directorial debut in a production featuring Belinda McClory and William McInnes.' (Production summary)

1 1 y separately published work icon The Man with the September Face Kylie Trounson , Australian Script Centre , 2008 Z1652593 2008 single work drama humour 'It's 1983. Jesse wants to make it big in roller skates. His coach (and Mum) Naura, runs the tuck shop at the local rink. Newbie Harriet and her naive Marxism intrigue Jesse, but skating is only a hobby for her. Wolf, the rink's hot DJ lothario, throws down the gauntlet for skating glory, and for Harriet's hand. Jesse is troubled, caught between the Scylla and Charybdis of 80s hits: will he go for 'Gold' or collapse into the neo-nihilism of Ultravox's lament for the modern man, 'Vienna' ... Can Jesse stay true? And who is the man with the September face? A sharp and generous comedy for our times, on roller skates.' (Australian Script Centre record)
