Influence

by David Williamson
Directed by Sher Kearney

Ziggi Blasko is a talk-back host whose power is in his influence over his audience. He fills Sydney’s airwaves with sheer bile and his lashing at political correctness. Not surprisingly, Ziggi’s home is a war zone. His young, second wife Carmela is struggling to re-establish her ballet career after having a baby. his daughter Vivienne has run away from her mother to live with them and his father, deeply depressed according to Ziggi’s sister Connie, also comes to stay. A scathing and bitingly funny play about he media personalities that dominate our lives and the divisions that can shatter families.

by Debra Oswold

Mr Bailey’s Minder is the fictional story of Leo Bailey, one of Australia’s greatest living artists who battles to survive the effects of alcohol, cynicism and self-loathing. His resentful daughter Margo, one of his many children, is prepared to help, but she does so at arm’s length. Leo has been through a succession of minders who could not stand Leo’s vicious tongue and wild antics. But along comes Therese, down to her last job and determined to make a go of it.

Rumors


10th November – 2nd December
By Neil Simon
By arrangement with ORIGINtm THEATRICAL on behalf of Samuel French Inc.

Hilarity abounds as guests arrive at the New York City Deputy Mayor’s townhouse to find the host has shot himself (though it’s only a flesh wound), his wife is missing, and there isn’t any food! The party guests are desperate to hush up the scandal, if that’s what it is, that surrounds their unseen host. As the confusion and miscommunication mount, the evening soon spins out of control in this non-stop laugh-out- loud Neil Simon farce.
