1 Boxing Day Test Michael Hill , 2010 single work drama 'The "Boxing Day Test" - a time where a nation becomes one with the couch. So is the mantra of David and Patrick, brothers, housemates and cricket lovers. It's a time of transition for the boys - Patrick is starting a new job in corporate law, which is convenient because David's latest enterprise isn't exactly legal, the lease on their share house is up and they're both struggling with women, well, just one actually. If that wasn't enough, this year has added significance as it marks the first anniversary of their mother's tragic death. And then there's Dad. .........The boys share an uneasy peace with their controlling father, John, who seems to be doing his best to bring the family back together. But are his intentions completely altruistic? Patrick seems to think so, but why doesn't David? With all the nervous anticipation of the Test itself, this year's Boxing Day Test, is going to knock everyone for six.' Source:www.bakehousetheatre.com/shows/ (Sighted 23/11/2010).
1 y separately published work icon Motion Sickness Michael Hill , 2004 Hobart : Australian Script Centre , 2006 Z1422856 2004 single work drama young adult Sean has a terrible confession to make. He wants to tell his sister the unforgivable thing he has done, but just as he gathers the courage to walk through the door of the building where she works, the ground begins to shake and the walls begin to crack. This work tracks the interconnecting stories of nine young city-dwellers. Sibling rivalry, ambition, fear and the promise of something better fuel their struggle to cope with the ever-increasing speed of daily life, with its media saturation and high expectations. But these everyday stresses are thrown into relief by a devastating earthquake that changes all their lives. (synopsis, Collection #6 (2006) p.49)
