May And Alia Do Pirates! (Of Penzance)

Synopsis:
It's the chance they've been waiting for. The rest of the cast are missing in action (it's possible someone forgot to call them. . .) and now there is no other option. May and Alia are going to have to perform the whole of 'Pirates of Penzance' BY THEMSELVES. A low-fi homage to the cheesy, over-the-top silly-ness of Gilbert and Sullivan's original masterpiece.

Notes:
Created and performed by May Jasper and Alia Vryens

Murder At Warrabah House

Murder At Warrabah House
Both homage to and dark departure from the traditional Agatha Christie murder mystery, this antipodean re-imagining of the classic tale of death at a country house turns the crime genre upside down in more ways than one. The play boasts a cast of intriguing characters, all bought to life by a single performer, and all bound together in a cunning and unexpected narrative that will keep you guessing to the very end.

Not A Very Good Story

Synopsis:
This show leaves you feeling good. An intimate confession from a woman who risked everything to save the life of the person she loved. It is a show filled with love, loss, telemarketing and cleaning products. Inspired by the phenomenon of cancer clusters, not a very good story is Stephanie's story. Stephanie worked the late shift at a call centre and had a crush on the cleaner who worked in her office. then something horrible happened and Stephanie tells you all about it. It's not a very good story. And that's an understatement.
