Matt Cameron and Tim Finn
‘How rewarding to rummage through Matt Cameron’s mind. What a find. A true original.’ - The Age
Jeremy Glass is an untroubled little boy until his seventh birthday, when he suddenly announces that he is really a grown man called Danny, who died some years before. How can his parents indulge his conviction that he must find his real family? And how can his eerie insistence on his true identity not resurrect painful memories for Danny’s widow?
With songs from Tim Finn adding expressionistic commentary on the action, Matt Cameron’s
Poor Boy delivers a supernatural story steeped in loss, anguish and redemption.
Published in conjunction with Melbourne Theatre Company.

In the summer of 1939 in a small Moscow theatre a company of actors begins rehearsals of a new play to commemorate Stalin’s sixtieth birthday. It’s a tough gig, because for Soviet artists working towards the Radiant Future the old showbiz maxim ‘the show must go on’ is an order you can’t refuse.
Another opening, another show trial!
Realism is a comedy of nerves, a backstage farce set in a pressure cooker.
It’s about the spirit that makes art live and the forces that want to crush it.
Winner of the 2007 Wal Cherry Award for Best New Play

Sidney can feel her career slipping down the plughole. No one loves a pop star when she’s forty – not if she isn’t Madonna or Kylie. So unless she wants to join the ranks of the has-beens on the casino circuit, she better get herself a hit. But what if she regains the whole world and still feels that something’s missing?
Baby hunger. Returning to the feisty mood of her hit
The Female of the Species, Joanna Murray-Smith in
Rockabye gives our self-involved, celebrity-obsessed culture a satirical duff-up.
Territories: Australia/New Zealand

This is the story of three lost souls at the edge of Savage River—now just a dam, a mine and a ghost town in Tasmania’s north-west.
From a ramshackle hut by the water, Kingsley forages a living with his young son, Tiger. One night, Kingsley brings home a stranger, the beguiling Jude. Seemingly in trouble, disorientated and with a moral compass way out of whack, she unwittingly changes three lives overnight.
Jude soon settles into a routine that is far from her own and let
history slip by. History does, though, have a habit of catching up with you.
