PLAY OF THE MONTH FOR APRIL 2008

SCATTERING ROBERT

A surreal black comedy from Stephanie MCCARTHY

After music professor Robert Dale dies in a car crash, his dysfunctional family and colleagues gather to scatter his remains into the ocean...

'...plenty of meat for high school students - and even the so-called minor roles are interesting and enjoyable. Technically the play is fascinating, with many opportunities for light and sound and specials in production....' Wirreanda High School, South Australia, Oct 2007

WE ALSO RECOMMEND...

CLOAK OF FEATHERS

Mythic drama from Susan ROGERS

A story about war, silenced women and the possibility of new beginnings. The language is highly original, a mix of myth, poetry and vision; the play is structured like music, it has a melody and a sense of being a score.

'This is an important work, and should be an extraordinarily evocative and challenging piece in performance.' Ruth Little, Literary Manager, Griffin Theatre Company, 1999

THE FEMALE FACTORY

Powerful historical drama from the late Nick ENRIGHT

A zealous middle-class woman seeks to better the lives and conditions of a group of female convicts in colonial NSW. A moving and subtle story.

Produced by the Theatre Nepean graduation class at the University of Western Sydney, Oct 1997.
