A complex and intense portrait of the mechanics of a family - and a marriage - through the eyes of four siblings struggling to define themselves beyond their parents' love and expectations.

The hit Australian play published alongside Almeida Theatre, directed by Mike Attenborough.

Play about the rights and wrongs of emotional conduct. Written in three parts, it examines disconnection, alienation and a shifting moral code. It describes unusual circumstances that draw strangers together and expose chasms between partners. Winner of the 1997 AWGIE for Best New Play. Author writes for stage and screen and his other works include plays 'Holy Day' and 'Who's Afraid of the Working Class' and feature films 'Head On' and 'Strictly Ballroom'.

Five plays are intertwined in one in this story of fringe dwellers, living in an age of social, economic and moral deprivation. Mostly without work, and politically disengaged, they work at survival. 'With intelligence, well-judged humour and the searching qualities of truly memorable theatre, the play peels away political propaganda and notions of correctness to present a candid, difficult, searing portrait of the poor and marginalised.' SMH Who' Afraid of the Working Class? was adapted into the film, Blessed. (9 male, 10 female).

A black comedy set in a suburban pub-bistro on a Friday night. 5 single people set out in pursuit of a good time, determined to forget their 9--5 routine (2 acts, 2 men, 3 women).
