Brilliant Lies
David Williamson

Williamson turns his penetrating eye and sharply focused wit to issues of political correctness and sexual harassment. A serious comedy, Brilliant Lies is a stimulating contribution to the continuing debate on our changing social values.

Liz has retreated to the mountains from the furore created by her latest book. Her husband Gareth is driving to visit her but is shaken when a woman runs into the path of his car—the consequences for all three adults are far-reaching.

Shelley is embarrassed by her mother's work. Why can’t she get a decent job? At the pool, Ben is afraid of the water, but persists in hanging around the edge, and Tania in the wheelchair is organising a disco.

St James Infirmary
Nick Enright

As protesters march against the Vietnam War, boys in a Catholic school prepare for their final exams. One student paints an anti-war mural in the cadet drill hall and is forced to confront the consequences of his action.

The last work from one of the twentieth century's most significant writers, continuing the semi-autobiographical cycle centring on the Tyrone family started by Long Day's Journey into Night.

Mourning Becomes Electra
Eugene O'Neill

Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra is a trilogy of full-length plays, reworking themes from Greek tragedy, particularly The Oresteia of Aeschylus, relocated to New England in 1865, just after the end of the American Civil War.

Così
Louis Nowra

Lewis has recently left university and takes up a job in a mental institution directing Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte. Lewis, the non-participant, becomes emotionally involved with his actors' lives as his operatic production lurches forward and anti-Vietnam protests take place in the streets outside.

Prior, visited by ghosts of his ancestors and abandoned by his lover after his diagnosis with AIDS, is wondering if he is still sane when the angels select him to be their prophet. Powerbroker Roy Cohn also has the virus - but he believes that only the powerless can have that particular illness, and so kicks back against his diagnosis.

Summer of the Aliens
Louis Nowra

It’s 1962 and the world is worrying about the Cuban missile crisis. Not Lewis, a youth living in a Melbourne housing commission, he’s preoccupied with flying saucers. Much to the disgust of friend Brian, who can only think of losing his virginity.

Money and Friends
David Williamson

Peter, a mathematician who embodies niceness itself, is in financial trouble because of his brother’s bankruptcy. His neighbour Margaret decides to seek help from his friends who spend much of their time boasting about their wealth. But while his friends happily take advantage of Peter's good nature in their own hour of need, how willing will they be to help him in his?
