1 1 Australia! The Show! Aidan Fennessy , Jon Halpin , Jean-Marc Russ , Hayden Spencer , 2010 single work musical theatre humour 'Recapping the story so far: Gondwana, Dreamtime, Captain Cook, Convicts, Explorers, Squatters, Gold Fields, Federation, Anzacs, Kokoda, Menzies, The Dismissal, America's Cup, Sydney Olympics and Sorry. That's pretty much all you need to know about Australia and its history, because we are a simple people with a simple past. Aren't we?

'In Australia! The Show! the myths hit the fan. This rollicking comedy invites us on an unconventional journey through the history of Australia, as seen through the eyes of ambitious local theatre aficionado, Leslie Barrymore Lockett and his clown side-kick, Owen. With a soundtrack reluctantly provided by indigenous musician Terry, and a lot of theatrical licence, they attempt to recreate the moments that shaped our great nation.'

1 3 The August Moon Adam Grossetti , Jean-Marc Russ , 2008 single work drama

'Four days after tropical Cyclone Larry devastated the North Queensland town of Innisfail, playwright Adam Grossetti and director/playwright Jean-Marc Russ travelled north to interview the survivors of the cyclone. They had read that one of the inhabitants of the August Moon caravan park had died during the cyclone, sparking a trial by media of the park's owners. Over the next twenty-four hours Jean-Marc and Adam uncovered an inspiring tale of the resilience of a local community faced with unbelievable catastrophe.'
