Citysong and other plays
Carys D. Coburn

Late-night taxis, teen discos, home nurses, Jewish launderettes, vigilantes, babies, immigrants, seagulls. Citysong is a play, a poem and a chorus of voices showing three generations of a Dublin family on one day.

Young courtier Shahrazad poses as a ‘Smuggle’ (a refugee) about to be executed by the despotic King Shahrayar. To save her life, she tells the king a story he can’t resist. It’s a tale of magic and transformation, demons and lovers, adventure and terror.

1972: The Future of Sex
the Wardrobe Ensemble

Small Island
Andrea Levy Adapted by Helen Edmundson

Hortense yearns for a new life away from rural Jamaica, Gilbert dreams of becoming a lawyer, and Queenie longs to escape her Lincolnshire roots. In these three intimately connected stories, hope and humanity meet stubborn reality, tracing the tangled history of Jamaica and Britain.

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 Unreturning
Anna Jordan

A Northern British coastal town. Three young men are coming home from war. Their stories, set at different times over a hundred years, are beautifully interwoven in Anna Jordan's The Unreturning, a play that explores the profound effect that war has on young people's lives, and asks – what does coming home really mean? What is home? 

Welcome to a world where your partner can arrive by special delivery, you can replace your ex with a replica, or supplement your waning love life with regular updates. It could be the answer to all our problems… but what might we lose along the way?

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.
