1 form y separately published work icon The Clerk Ascending Gina Schien , 2010 Australia : ABC Radio National , 2010 Z1826992 2010 single work radio play fantasy 'Bill Erdman works at 'Long and Associates'. He's a good employee but he does have a rather unique problem. His colleagues are aware of his 'situation' and do their best not to aggravate Bill's already embarrassing problem of floating to the ceiling should anyone say the word trombone. The only problem is no-one told new employee Andrew Jones.' (ABC Radio National website)
1 Life is a Funny Business Gina Schien , Donna Abela , Sue Bonaretti , Colleen Cook (composer), 2000 single work musical theatre 'The big boss god Zeus and his entourage of gods-in-training, goddesses and godettes, hit the streets to see what Sydney, notorious Olympic and Millennium City, is all about. And what a sight they see! Queens on King St, Dykes in Leichhardt, Bi's on Bondi. The gods ask themselves, 'Surely with all this waxing, plucking and buffing going on the Olympics have returned to their origins and everyone will compete naked!' So, what can the gods do but change sex at will and make sport cavorting at Mardi Gras. Unable to resist this luscious possibility, Centaurs chase scene queens, the Fates follow fashion victims, and mere mortals are mobbed by Muses in this capricious, all-singing all-dancing romp. But will anyone notice? Will anyone care? It's a long way from Athens to Olympic Sydney but when it comes down to it, the gods may get their ecstasy, but they're still only tourists.'

1 Relative Comfort Gina Schien , 1999 single work drama humour

'When Cat kicked Jackie out of her life, along came Sally to pick up the pieces. However, there's more to Cat than visits to the gym and her job as door-bitch at the Fruitwhip would suggest. Meanwhile Sally's publisher father, Des wonders why his daughter is hanging around with lesbians. The journey out of the closet becomes something of a family affair when Des and his sister Lorna face truths in their own past. Commitment bells all around!

"Relative Comfort" is ultimately an optimistic and very funny play about real people, gay relationships and moving forward to the point where it is not what you are but who you are that is finally important.' Source: www.ramin.com.au/ (Sighted 08/02/2012)
