THE PLAYS
19 Trains by Angus Cerini
Michael is really sick and he's losing his will to live. He's onto his 19th operation. Ron is a long-time train-driver who loves his quiet time. He's onto his 19th suicide on the tracks. Michael and Ron never meet, but as Michael's despair and rage coalesces, their lives momentarily intersect.
BC by Rita Kalnejais
Mary is good with hair. Joseph knows a lot about footy and feet. When Mary, who's starting to have visions and visitations, falls pregnant and says it's not Joseph's, something magic is definitely afoot.
