THE PLAYS

Possess by Matthew Haubrick

Directed by            Paul Henness

Him            Emily Noske-Turner            Her            Ronja Moss

An exploration of the nature of how two people cope with inevitable loss, loss of possessions, loss of sanity, loss of understanding, and loss of each other.

The Consultation by Terence Howison

Directed by            Margie Craig

Doctor             Jim Coad            Doris            Jennifer Thompson

The Consultation is a play based on the early experiences of the author as a doctor in remote communities.  It explores the difficult interface between black and white people and describes the respect that grows between patient and doctor.

Gambada and Wardangarri by Lynette Lewis

Directed by            Jasmine Lance

Gambada            Tara Woods            Wardangarri            Rhubee Neale

Narrator             Sylvia Neale

Gambada and Wardangarri is layered with many meanings. At its simplest it is a story loosely based on the Wambaya dreamtime story about why the sun and moon chase each other around the earth.

Sound of Waiting by Maryanne Butler

Directed by            Jo Dutton

Mot            Sophie Wallace            Savannah            Miriam Bond

`The Sound of Waiting' is a dual narrative between Savannah – who drowns and turns into a fish – and Mot, who jumps off a cliff and ends up finding hope. Inspired by the untimely death of Savannah Holloway – a Darwin-based youth worker who was killed in a Sydney Harbour boat accident last year – The Sound of Waiting is a story of loss, grief, and – ultimately – hope.

Drew's Seizure by Chris Raja

Carer            kerzlake

Drew's Seizure first appeared as a short story in Southerly in December 2008. It has been reworked for the stage and will be performed for the first time in Bite Sized Theatre 2009. This is a unique story told through the eyes of a carer who questions his own ability

Directed by            Cait Ryan            Music by             Vincent Lamberti

Tom            Steve Gumerungi Hodder            Jaqui            Ronya Moss

A chance meeting evolves into a complex tangle of truth and forgiveness, right, wrong and the grey inbetween.

Bec            Charla Strelan            Terry            Sandor Hunt

A Darwin man has his calm disturbed by the past that he’s come here to escape. When a relative can’t be prevented from visiting, desperate measures must be taken. Again.
