J.A.T.O. FIGHTING TO THE FINISH
J.A.T.O is the story of four. No wait three. Who was that other guy? Who cares he’s dead now and we never liked him anyway. So J.A.T.O. is the story of three members of some kind of group called J.A.T.O. who seem to have instruments yet they are not a band. They are not a flock of anything and they are neither what you want them to be nor the best at what you want them to be the best at.
But they did get FOUR STARS from the Age so for now that’s a start..

Written by acerbic Croatian playwright Vedrana Klepica.

The Horror Face – Scripts Available
After a blockbuster premiere season, The Horror Face by Glyn Roberts, directed by Felix Ching Ching Ho, is now closed.
They called it: “surprisingly amusing; poignant; and ultimately a very political play.”; “the amphetamines, drugs, the uppers and downers, trips, morphine and adrenaline.” “a creepy triumph” “the perfect balance between sense and nonsense” “an unsettling and eccentrically funny work, enriched by edgy, vibrant performances.” and now it is closed.
But fear not! Or if you truly fear then run away!!! If not then…
Copies of the script are available in pdf and e-book friendly formats so the nightmare can continue as long as you’d like. If you are already waking up in cold sweats thinking about the apocalypse, don’t keep it to yourself! Share it with your friends!
