Review
With intelligence, well-judged humour and the searching qualities of truly memorable theatre, the play peels away political propaganda and notions of correctness to present a candid, difficult, searing portrait of the poor and the maringalised. -

Features of Blown Youth by Raimondo Cortese
Cortese explores the milieu of young lives in the inner city today, with all its frustrations and demons, using dialogue that reflects the patterns and rhythms of everyday speech. His street-wise characters face a world of scarce and unsatisfying employment, drugs, loneliness, depression, sexual obsession, exploitation and hopelessness.
Review
Raimondo Cortese’s sharp, sometimes shattering Features of Blown Youth may not be an overtly political play, but in its cumulation of detail and debris it manages to pack an almighty punch ... brilliant theatre.’ — Bryce Hallet,

Polly Blue by Belinda Bradley
A bathrobe, a table, a bed, a clothes line. Amongst the floral dresses and underpants hangs George. Dead.
Polly Blue
is a peep show into suburbia, in which Belinda Bradley probes the apparent intimacy of a shared environment.
