wave is barreling its way across

Presented by The Blue Room Theatre
Summer Nights and sandpaperplane
Once Australia’s most famous TV
medium, Margie Hillspeck has
faded away to the graveyard
shift at a local radio station.
Lying’s no issue, as long as she
keeps ratings up...Hell, it might
even help people move on. Then memories start knocking.
Margie might be closer to the dead than she thinks. This is
Second Chance Farewells! Thanks for calling.

The Dirty Mother
Presented by The Blue Room Theatre
Summer Nights and Michelle Hall
In autobiographical, cosmic
mass, Michelle recounts her
birth story as a mythical epic: a
bombastic explosion of fecundity.
It’s graphic, physical comedy, it’s
loss and reinvention in the nappy
shite of life. Set in a post-natal Underworld of big hopes
and big pants against a sublime, live soundtrack, this is the
story we’re not supposed to tell.

WINNER
The Nose
Presented by The Blue Room Theatre
Summer Nights and The Bloomshed
A CEO is crying in front of a mirror.
His nose is gone. Worse. It’s
running through the city dressed
as the President of Honduras.
This is the moment. Its chance
for freedom. Disparate narratives
collide around the missing appendage, as the CEO tries to
win back some control. “Cutting edge, political contemporary
theatre.” Theatre People.
