SHIT
Shit is a gritty, powerful portrayal of three young disenfranchised Australian women. A leap in the depiction of young women on the Australian stage, Patricia Cornelius' Shit is a ground-breaking story about three women who believe in nothing, and are vulgar, down-mouthed and downtrodden. They believe the world is shit, that their lives are shit, that they are shit.

it's not creepy
if they're hot
It’s Not Creepy If They’re Hot is the third play from 19-year-old playwright Rosie Licence. Blending verbatim theatre, slam poetry and brand new music, the play follows twelve friends who aren’t that great at being friends. With Licence's unmistakeably frank style and wit, the play asked audiences us to confront not what happened, or why did it happen - but why aren't we talking about it?
