Same Paige, The

Synopsis:
When Paige joins a womens writers' group she gets more than she bargained for. In the beginning the women welcome Paige, but as the play unfolds and the absurdity of the group is evident, Paige cant help but be honest about their writing, and the groups turn nasty.

Speechwriter, The

Synopsis:
Budding writer Steve Hart gets his dream job writing speeches for the right wing prime minister, much to the horror of his mum Josie who is a left wing activist. Steve is torn between his mum's dogma and the manipulation of the prime minister and his beer-guzzling immigration minister. With best friends Luke and Jenny, Steve is a typical 20-something, politically apathetic and struggling to find an identity. It is not until tragedy strikes that Steve's character is fortified and Josie learns that love must include acceptance.
