The Myrtle twins, Dibs Hamilton and Girlie Delaney, are turning 80.
As the family gathers to celebrate, speculation grows as to who
will be the one to inherit the family property, Allandale, when the
ageing Farley Hamilton is gone. From award-winning playwright
Hannie Rayson, comes a powerful new family drama, where duty
contends with freedom, and the differences of race, gender and
generation must be reconciled before the claims on Allandale, and
its families, may be settled. (6 male, 6 female).
The Benedict brothers are on opposite sides of the political
divide. Eggs is the Minister for Home Security and prime
minister-in-waiting. Tom is a refugee advocate and the head of a
charitable foundation. The brothers have a relationship based on
affection and respect. And in the jumble of family life they have
managed to accommodate their ideological differences. But then, an
Indonesian fishing boat, packed with refugees, goes down in the
Indian Ocean on Christmas Day. Two hundred and fifty people drown,
but one man survives. "Two Brothers" is a story about what happens
when one family produces two powerful, passionate,
socially-committed sons whose rival senses of duty bring them into
deadly conflict. Most of all, it is a story about the struggle
between compassion and security in an age of terror. Part political
thriller, part family drama, "Two Brothers" is written with Hannie
Raysons characteristic insight and humanity. Includes introductions
by Katharine Brisbane and Tony Kevin. 2 Acts, 7 male, 2 female.
Three sisters reunited after ten years in different worlds, again
feel the constraints of family life. Hotel Sorrento looks at
conflicting concepts of national identity and family loyalty. (2
acts, 4 male, 4 female).
Saturday night, small town Wales, one pub, one party and three lads
