A bit about the chosen Plays:

Wheat is What we Eat, The War on Emus

Written And directed by Mick Francis.

Based on the true events in the 1930s in Western Australia, when the military attempted to repel 20,000 emus from fresh wheat crops planted by clueless farmers. The emus won the war. The setting for this dark comedy is a courtroom where three humans are on trial, judged by an impatient emu, Judge Moody and her trigger-happy sidekick, Chief Birdman, who is half emu and half man (long story). The play features original music, historical footage from the war, and lots of weird and wonderful twists. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

The Fox

A two hander set in an old gentleman’s apartment. Kara is a night care assistant, enduring the restraints of a capitalist society whilst battling depression.

The Three Stages of Monica
