Ditto. A Story

Synopsis:
Ditto tells a story of 3 young actors who share their lives, their dreams and their love for Shakespeare. the play happens in 4 days and 26 "accidents" (scenes). Two of them are "the Audition scenes" , which are live /real/true auditions conducted on every night by a different Guest Director, who is free to use and execute any auditioning/directing techniques he may find helpful. This part of the play is not entirely scripted - the actors in the play are prepared to work on Shakespeare, on contemporary monologues, sing songs.

Everyman And The Pole Dancers

Everyman And The Pole Dancers
A family of three generations is guided through their last hours. With fear, loathing and existential guilt all present in the perverse relationships, can Everyman realign these individuals so warped and deranged? Bizarre and fun yet hideously confronting, will Everyman lure everyone around a pole where there is nothing a good dance wont fix.

Nagl ( Not A Good Look)

Synopsis:
NaGL: acronym for 'not a good look'. (n) to describe something as unacceptable, foul, disastrous, inappropriate, or awkward. a family of five strangers whose lives are absurd yet could not be more real, who are divided yet united, who represent a nation. NaGL is a take on contemporary Australian society told through the perspective of a dysfunctional family. Not being able to stay in the same room, let alone get on with one another, they face the most inconvenient truth. . .they are family. This funny yet thought provoking play is bound to make audiences ponder the question whether Australia indeed is NaGL? "I left Australia in the late 90's and when I came back in 2002, the Australia I came back to was different to the one I left. NaGL is a result of my observations. This family represents a nation, metaphorically speaking, a nation divided yet united. So funny and so tragic at the same time." says Director Lech Mackiewicz. the characters of this motley family in NaGL are Grace, Manolo, Roman, Vata and Uncle Chuk. Grace is the practical mother, strong and supportive but also unforgiving when it comes to the crucial issues of life and divorce. Manolo, the father, loves life and life loves Manolo. He is ready to do anything and everything in order to achieve his goal, which is to do nothing. Roman is our brother, old and young at the same time. He enjoys enforcing his sister's rules, although sometimes ridiculous, and follows her in search of their identities. Vata is our sister - she hates the thought of being NaGL and believes that if we all divorced each other then we have a chance to create a better family. Vata is just a crazy teenager with drive but no direction. Uncle Chuk is the only one who rightly belongs in this family, but who tries the hardest to earn his place. Uncle Chuk is played by Billy McPherson who says, 'Uncle Chuck is an outsider looking from the inside out.'
