Packer and Sons
Tommy Murphy

This is the origin story of the Packer prince told over three generations of tycoons who each battle to inherit their gargantuan birthright and drag it into a new era. Packer & Sons is about the family who told Australia how to think, how to relax, how to be—and the knowledge that was passed from father to son—wisdom, acumen, politics. But also, how to forge your body-armour.

Danny Fisher
Matthew Ryan

Danny Fisher is coming of age at a time when Australia faces the threat of invasion. When his beloved brother Frank is killed in the bombing of Darwin, Danny's family is ripped apart. Ignored by grieving parents, the awkward Danny is left to fend for himself, and to try to fill the shoes left behind. Thrust headlong into the threat of war and the hope of love, Danny, like his city, is growing up fast.

Patrick White's classic 1965 drama The Season at Sarsaparilla is 'a charade of suburbia', a play of shadows, rather than substance.

Verity Laughton

Verity Laughton's semi-verbatim play about the battle for Long Tan is composed from interviews with the surviving Australian soldiers, Vietnamese contributors, and the family and friends of those who died.

The Sugar House
Alana Valentine

A story of Sydney – work and corruption, family and massive social change. A story of how Australia went from working class to middle class.

Deceptive Threads
David Joseph and Karen Berger

The Hanging
Angela Betzien
