Zorgontoroliofola
What would you do if you were forced to immigrate? What would you take? How would you survive? Global warming, floods, droughts and extreme weather events have made planet Earth hostile and uninhabitable. A team of determined recruits set out on a crucial mission. They must dig up the past, discover the stories of their ancestors and take these vital immigrant lessons to a new planet, Zorgontoroliofola. They have the wate of the forld — no, no, the fate of the world — on their shoulders, but do they have what it takes to succeed? Zorgontoroliofola is the inspiring and action-packed story of hope for the future as we learn from the past.

The People We Are(n’t)
Do you think some pesky politicians are sly and sneaky? Wait until you meet Tony Braggardoni! He’s the ultimate shonky, puppy-loving politician who has needs a new issue to get behind so he can win the votes of the Australian people. And therein lies the genius of his newly invented game show: Australia’s Got Issues — and don’t we just?! Will he pull off his plan? The People We Are(n’t) is a rollicking new play that exposes Australia’s biggest protest issues through drama, dance and humour.

Kafka and the Doll
This story is strange and unforeseen, yet absolutely true. Famous writer Franz Kafka, walking in a Berlin park one afternoon, comes upon a little girl who has lost her doll. Together they search for the toy, but to no avail. In a moment of inspiration, Kafka tells the girl that her doll has gone seeking adventure, that he knows this because the doll has sent him a letter which he promises to read to her the following day. So begins a fascinating series of correspondence from the doll detailing her adventures, from Amazonian natives to a Bedouin tribe and a sultan’s palace. Set in a family home during COVID lockdown, Kafka and the Doll is a story of change and finding hope during uncertain times.
