'Currah, the sensitive, defiant, and once molested indigenous [sic] girl, is now a literary sensation. But Currah isn’t what she appears as race, politics and identity collide in this vicious contemporary satire on the peddling of abuse culture. Hilarious, provocative and troubling, this is incisive theatre at its finest.' Source: www.nationalplayfestival.org.au/ (Sighted 10/06/2011).

2011 winner Griffin Award for New Australian Playwriting
Whore 2009 single work drama

'Young, fearless and full of wanderlust Sara finds herself in London selling cleaning products in a call centre.

'Then she meets Tim, and her path takes an unexpected turn. For these two Aussies living it large in London everything is exhilarating, delightfully dangerous and full of possibility. When a body is discovered in the apartment upstairs the thrill of anonymity gives way to rising horror as Sara finds herself at the very edge of the person she once was.

'With originality and poetic wit, 'Whore" is an unflinching exploration of the price of freedom, ambition and the high-risk ride that is coming-of-age.'
