Contemporary Hymn, A

Contemporary Hymn, A
Take a fierce metaphorical journey into the disturbing underbelly of the nightclub scene. Angels of the Street and Dark travel to and from the soul-crushing Wasteland, as apocalyptic realisations compound.

Notes:
part of I Will Kiss You In Four Places. the four plays contained in this collection Are the result of A unique collaboration between Griffith University's Applied theatre Department, Playlab Press And four prominent playwrights, whose brief was simple - the plays could be no longer than 20 minutes And the cast, no fewer than six. Subject matter, up to the playwright. the end result is four stunning theatrical experiments - the lyrical And Apocalyptic 'a Contemporary Hymn' by Linda Hassall, the physical And sophisticated 'Beetle-eyed' by Helen Howard, the gothic And sexy 'the Gate Crasher' by Stephen Carleton, And the exuberant And hilarious 'Never For ever' by Daniel evans

Post Office Rose

Post Office Rose
Post Office Rose is the name of a terrible Patsy Cline cover band. Now the members are all grown up, and they have some serious scores to settle with one another. Set in a rural township, three women reunite who are as tough as the pigslaughtering landscape in which they grew up.
