Slut

by Patricia Cornelius

Exploring the constraints that social labels place upon us, this production of Slut forces the audience to interrogate views on sexuality, equality, and the pressure to conform. Three women shift, merge and meld as they represent unnamed characters on a journey of individuation. In turn, they each represent the only named figure within the narrative - Lolita.

Nodding in the direction of Nabokov's precocious Lolita, Slut tells a story of a different young girl, and challenges the viewer to consider how female sexuality and human behaviour emerges in modern culture.

Le Garçon Néurotique

As part of the Adelaide Fringe 2010

By Josh Cameron

Le Garçon Néurotique is a dark and hilariously twisted journey into the mind of a cocktail waiter, teetering on the edge of madness. Concocted together with a stirring insight into the elegant but depraved heaven of world-class alcoholism and the indignity involved in an industry that can simply be observed as paid servitude.

So perch yourself on the edge of your stool to witness a story diving into the world of hospitality, inside a mind struggling to cope with himself, life and ultimately a job that demands you sacrifice your dignity, in whatever state, for the sake of a buck.
