MADAGASCAR
By J.T. Rogers

12th February - 27th March, 2010

'A subtle, beautifully written, sad, and disturbing play' - Edward Albee
'wondrous, elegiac, unforgettable drama' - Miami Herald

In a hotel room overlooking the Spanish Steps in Rome, three versions of a story are told at three different times: by an older woman Lilian, by a young woman June, and by an older man Nathan. As each reveals how they came to be in that room, the audience pieces together the story of a young man's mysterious disappearance and its shattering implications.
Inconsolable regret. In Madagascar, playwright J.T. Rogers meditates on the past's ability to hold on to us and our slow-arriving acceptance that it may never let go.

GODZONE
by Guy Rundle and Max Gillies

now touring

There's a fervour in the revivalist tent, where Reverend Kevin of Rudd Ministries, in a sermon from the German translated via Mandarin, tells his congregation that religion is the new politics and vice versa. Called up to testify, his guests, drawn from the Great and the Good, will each bear witness to the powerful spirit moving across this land. Folly is his pinata. Max Gillies has been pricking pomp, slaughtering sacred cows and beating up béte noirs for decades. In Godzone his trail of destruction continues with a new cast of victims. Regional Arts Victoria is touring Godzone to (Victoria) Geelong, Warragul, (SA) Mount Gambier, Renmark, Port Pirie, Whyalla, Port Lincoln, Noarlunga, (NSW) Sydney, Parramatta during February and March 2010. The Godzone tour is supported by Playing Australia.
