The Visitors
Jane Harrison

On a sweltering day, 26 January, 1788, on a bluff high above Sydney Cove, seven Aboriginal men stand looking out to sea. Moored off-shore is a huge nowee (boat) … then there are two, then more. Who are these visitors? Where are they from? What do they want? Should they be turned away—by force—or welcomed to country?

Sunshine Super Girl
Andrea James

A grimy old ball, a racquet made from a wooden fruit box, a pair of borrowed shoes … then the world at her feet.

Noughts & Crosses (Pilot Theatre version)
Sabrina Mahfouz Original author Malorie Blackman

This gripping Romeo and Juliet story by acclaimed writer Malorie Blackman is a captivating drama of love, revolution and what it means to grow up in a divided world.

It's not global warming or fast-fashion sweatshops. It's a low buzz of anxiety, a quiet terror in the middle of the night. Because girls have been going missing.

In the legendary rivalry between Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart, great forces are at play, with nations at stake and citizens ready to fight for the just cause.
