Crab Bucket Photo Finish TomcatCrab Bucket
Synopsis:
The L-plates are bought, the club is booked: it's the perfect start to the fairytale wedding. It's Abbie's hen party, and it's about to get messy. But as the weekend plays out and the celebration becomes as messed up as the people themselves, the facade of sugar and spice falls away to reveal chaos, envy, and conspiracy. Fast paced, bold, and laced with humour, Crab Bucket explores a modern perspective of the nature of feminism as seen through the eyes of the women experiencing it directly. Inspired by the theory of Crab Mentality, Crab Bucket explores the issues surrounding young women in society today and how their apathy and sexuality can have a profound effect on the recognition of their place in the world around them.

In the not-too-distant future, the world is better than ever. Diseases and disorders have been wiped out. But Jess doesn't belong. She slipped through the net and there's something dangerous in her DNA, something that must be 'cured'. Charlie is watching Jess. He'll do whatever it takes to keep society safe. As debate over genetic screening rages, Tomcat's urgent vision questions the lengths to which we will go to keep humanity healthy. When you can learn everything about a person on a computer screen, does that mean there's nothing left to discover?
