A young policeman’s first day on duty becomes a violent and highly charged initiation into law enforcement. Remarkable for its blend of boisterous humour and horrifying violence, the play has acquired a reputation as a classic statement on Australian authoritarianism and is a key work in the study of Australian drama.

y separately published work icon Savage River Steve Rodgers , Strawberry Hills : Currency Press Griffin Theatre Company , 2009 Z1593820 2009 single work drama 'From a ramshackle hut by the water, Kingsley forages a living with his young son, Tiger. Times are tough and money in short supply, but with good humour, invention and resilience they make the best of it, bundled together as family. One night, Kingsley brings home the beguiling Jude, who unwittingly changes three lives overnight. Jude seems happy enough to enjoy Tiger and Kingsley's attention, and let history slip by. History does, though, have a habit of catching up with you. A warm, affectionate and moving story of the glimpsing of freedom and the weight of the things that shackle us.' (Publisher's blurb) Strawberry Hills : Currency Press Griffin Theatre Company , 2009
y separately published work icon Forget Me Not Tom Holloway , Strawberry Hills : Currency Press , 2013 5989711 2013 single work drama

'Gerry is almost 60, and he is going to meet his mother for the first time since he was three. His daughter Sally has had it up to here with him and his problems. The old lady lives somewhere in the UK. Liverpool, according to the records. So Gerry is going to Liverpool to find out what made him who he is.

'Tom Holloway's play started life as a conversation between Belvoir and Liverpool's Everyman and Playhouse Theatres. Holloway's task was to tell the story of the 3000-odd English children who, between 1945 and 1968, were told they were orphans and sent to Australia on a promise of warmth, fresh air, abundant food and boundless opportunity. Instead they arrived to deprived institutions where neglect and abuse were the norm.'

'We hit Cairo like a train! … Every dirty little alley, every dusty back room bar - the pyramids are marvellous, but I could spend the rest of my days quite happily in the arms of your temptation.

'Inspired by The State Library of New South Wales' jaw-dropping collection of WWI diaries and letters, and featuring a cast of Australia’s hottest emerging actors, A Town Named War Boy is the moving new play that brings our ANZAC legend to life.' (Production summary)
