___________________________________

"The Bald Prima Donna"

The Smiths are looking forward to their dinner party with the Martins. Except for a few problems: a mad maid, a freaky fireman and a cuckoo clock that never tells the time right.

Originally a French play, it’s as absurd as they come. Think Noel Coward crossed with David Lynch with a sprinkle of Fawlty Towers.

"The Leather Jacket"

A dramatic play set in a typical Perth suburban family home in the 60s. The play deals with the generation gap, and youth and its rebellion

against rules and standards. Whilst the goal posts have gradually moved over the decades and

today’s society are far more tolerant, the play is still essentially topical in its content.

"Thicker Than Water"

Thicker than Water is a hilarious comedy about a dysfunctional family. What happens when Sally introduces her new boyfriend to her bank robbing nana, her mother – an actress who can play every part except herself and her twin sisters – one who just wants to get his pants off while the other likes to only wear pants!
