1 2 y separately published work icon Barassi : The Stage Show Tee O'Neill , 2012 Strawberry Hills : Currency Press , 2012 Z1883514 2012 single work drama 'Ron Barassi - iconic Australian Rules footballer...champion coach, motivational speaker and elder statesman. Do they make men like him any more?

'"Barassi" is an epic story that crosses generations and suburban Melbourne clans, although uniquely Australian, it is both universal and timeless.

'The story starts in World War II with Ron's father, Ron Snr, himself a champion footballer, and one of the Rats of Tobruk, a powerful and heroic figure to his son, who is tragically killed in Libya. We follow the development of young Ron, who, under the care and mentorship of legendary coach Norm Smith, relentlessly turns himself into "Mr Football".

'Ever driven to challenge himself, and live up to the impossible memory of his father, Barassi goes on past his glory playing days to successfully coach football clubs, taking them from "wooden spooners" to premiers. While that success is tempered with the failure of his marriage, small business, and his old club Melbourne, Number 31 is often daunted, but never beaten.

'What drives this 72 year old man to rush to the defence of a woman being beaten in the street?'

1 A Few Roos Loose in the Top Paddock Tee O'Neill , 2009 single work drama
1 1 Melburnalia Kate Holden , Lally Katz , Ross Mueller , Tee O'Neill , Alice Pung , 2007 single work drama

'... [F]eaturing The CBD, Kew, St Kilda, Ringwood and Footscray. Melburnalia weaves together five specially commissioned new plays by outstanding local writers Kate Holden, Lally Katz, Ross Mueller, Tee O'Neill and Alice Pung.

These short works form a single theatrical journey which transits from suburb to suburb and uncovers a city with many faces. Each play illuminates the extraordinary within the ordinary: paraphernalia and miscellanea yield up their stories. From the grungy backalleys of St Kilda to the boulevards of Kew; first love in Footscray and betrayal in Ringwood; from the wide lanes of the Maroondah Highway to the narrow arcades of Degraves St; from heroin to homosexuality; library to laneway; sex work to stage work; bohemians to bogans to boat people to an Apocalypse Bear. Melburnalia is a thought- provoking exploration of the diverse localities, peoples and meanings that come together to form 'Melbourne'.'

1 The Wall Project Tee O'Neill , Ben Ellis , Tom Wright , 2005 single work drama A collaborative writing project looking at the idea of a wall and its metaphors. 'Ellis uses the Middle East as a setting, in a scene where a boy has a bomb strapped to his body, in what Bendall says is a snapshot of community reaction to a wall appearing in the middle of a zoo. Wright deals with convicts being transported to Botany Bay while O'Neill examines the global sex trade in a thriller setting, with questions about the divide between the first and third worlds....Her script examines the plight of an East European sex slave, inspired by a story she heard while a drama student in London 20 years ago.'

Bride an Irish/Australian woman who is a compulsive world traveler has her life changed forever when she teaches English as a second language to asylum seekers from all over the war torn world. (RGM Associates) A death, a mystery, an investigation and a degree of subterfuge. STALKING MATILDA is a murder mystery of the 'film noir' variety.
