WHICH ONE?
Three students live together in a messy house. Jason says a woman wouldn’t stay five minutes.
Bill and Nathan disagree and have a bet. If a woman stays longer than five minutes they win; if she leaves they lose. As it happens, a female acquaintance of Jason’s needs help with an assignment. That evening Coralie arrives. Jason is actually interested in her.
As he makes the move, Nathan and Bill come back from the pub after having a few. They rib him so much Jason picks a fight with Bill.
Nathan is left with Coralie and tries to make the move on her, but Bill comes back from the fight, interrupting him.
Coralie, worried about Jason, sends Nathan out to look for him, leaving her and Bill alone. Bill makes the move on her, but the other two come back and interrupt.
Coralie leaves to ‘powder her nose’ leaving the guys to argue. In the midst of their debate, she returns – in bondage and discipline clothes. She tells them she wants them all and ties them up. She then leaves; she actually prefers the older man next door.
REALITY MATTERS
Reality Matters has been written to be performed almost anywhere, requiring no set – just the two actors on stage.
It’s a slightly surreal piece, as one character is forced to question his own perception of reality when an enigmatic character starts to strip away his many masks, forcing him to think outside the square for a moment.
The piece is left open-ended as to whether the events occur for real or in the main character’s mind.
APPETITE FOR DESRUCTION
Appetite for Destruction is an almost one-man piece about the character’s inner turmoil over his weight. Yet he is not fat – he is thin by most people’s standards.
But he used to be fat… and this has caused major dilemmas in his mind down the track, as he fights all the desires to eat while trying to live up to some impossible ideal male body.
The audience is privy to what goes on in his mind and this is embellished by a chorus of four that occasionally interacts with the main character.
THE BONZA LAND OF OZ
The Bonza Land of Oz is a play designed to give children acting experience while highlighting that other cultures are embraced in Australia with different aspects becoming part of our way of life, whether it’s some of their cuisine, fashion or cultural event.
A short, quirky play, it has elements of humour and has been written with no set in mind, allowing it to be performed in most environments.
But directors can add set dressing if they wish, depending on the space, cast and budget available.
KING BLING
King Bling is designed for a young adult/teenage audience, highlighting the message of how to manage their money.
Given the subject matter, King Bling has been written with an urban edge in a hip-hop context, to capture their attention, matching education with entertainment.
Other quirky characters are included, also providing occasional moments of comedy. It’s envisioned this play easily be done on a standard stage but also a school gymnasium floor, almost as if it’s done in the round – it has been written so the director can freely adapt the piece to wherever it’s being staged.
