In a suburban pub bistro on a Friday night three office workers – Dympie, Paula and Monika – are desperately seeking a good night out. At an adjoining table are Gordon, recently abandoned by his wife, and Stephen, looking for something more than the usual one night stand. As the night proceeds, inhibitions and social restraint disappear, exposing the foibles, pain and humour of the characters' inner lives.
An acutely observed but tender-hearted account of relationships and behaviour.
‘An Australian comedy of sharp and black social comment, full of wry insights.’

In a moment of glory at the 1968 Olympics, an Australian rowing team known as 'The Four Amigos' won bronze. It was lifetime bonding material.
Or so it seemed. Thirty-five years later only two of the Amigos keep in touch. Jim is a wealthy banker with a young, beautiful wife and seems to have it all. His friend Dick, a heart surgeon, has something that Jim covets: a sterling reputation. When the two mates meet up in Port Douglas with their wives, they have competing personal agendas. Then Steven, a third Amigo, turns up, ready to expose the past.
A savagely funny play that hinges on the subtle aggression and unacknowledged dependencies of male friendship — and the angst and irritation created for those on the sidelines.

'I'm sitting here trying to think about important stuff and you're zappin' me with lust rays — juicin' me up when I'm tryin' to focus on my English. You gotta stop that shit.'
It's Jay's first day at St Peter's and two things are clear — one, she doesn't fit in, and two, neither does anyone else. Everyone has a story to tell: Patsy the 'baby borrower', Brendan the motor-mouth perve, and the live-wire Lanny, who could erupt at any time. What's Jay's story and why won't she tell it? Commissioned by Soho Theatre Company,
Badnuff is a brutally funny new play.
