22 Short Plays

Synopsis:
If you like your writing if you like your writing normal and normal and have at timebeen to the theatre then this is also the theatre! at the beginning we'll ask you to sit. the conventions are many! People like to clap! Be like people! they're everywhere! 22 Short Plays is like speed dating, says company director, Tobias Manderson-Galvin, Terrifying; Humiliating; It could be hell. and you just might meet the love of your life.David Finnigan has written 22 Short Plays. Rythmic. Provocative. Hilarious. Short. Witness as he effortlessly subverts the everyday and the banal; combining philosophy, poetry and pop-culture into a devastating, hystErical night of entertainment. WaRNING: adult themes, simulated solo sex scenes, drugish references, medium level coarse languages, supernatural themes, at least one attempt at a human pyramid, themes.

Kill Climate Deniers

Kill Climate Deniers
What would it actually take to stop climate change dead in its tracks? Guns? Revolution? A pumping soundtrack? Kill Climate Deniers centres on a militant cell of eco-activists that takes the audience hostage during a concert at Parliament House. Led by charismatic spokeswoman Catch, they demand Australia immediately cease all carbon emissions and coal exports-or they'll start executing their 1,700 hostages. It's Kill Bill meets Tim Flannery, and it's all true. The science is real. The media fracas is real. Only the blood is fake, and no one dies
