CATWALK CHAOS - OPENS VERY SOON!

Trust no one. Expect surprises. Enjoy the ride!

Step into the smoky shadows of 1957 Los Angeles, where danger lurks behind every neon glow and nothing is quite what it seems. In this sharp-witted new comedy-drama from acclaimed local playwright Ken Cotterill, the golden age of film noir gets a fresh, irreverent twist.

Follow a world-weary private detective as he navigates a tangled web of secrets, seduction, and double-crosses. A mysterious femme fatale pulls the strings, but she’s not the only one with an agenda—this city is packed with bold, fast-talking women who know exactly how to get what they want - and a jaded LAPD detective who is a great help - or is he?

This stylish new production crackles with energy, attitude, and unexpected turns. It’s a love letter to the crime thrillers of the 1940s and ’50s—served with a wink, a twist, and plenty of sass.

BETWEEN FRIENDS
Written by Carolyn Pertwee with Rosalind Adler

AUDITIONS - 28 and 29 JUNE at 7.30pm

“Between Friends” is a character driven play that comes along rarely. A three hander with superb challenges for each character as they navigate what becomes probably the most life changing 24 hours in their lives.

The dialogue flows seamlessly as the playwrights capture perfectly the lighthearted banter between partners and lifelong friends. The plot is intimate, devastating, heartwarming and so relatable the audience will no doubt be squirming in their seats.

A powerful dramatic unfolding of the human condition at its best, and at its worst. It asks the inevitable question. What would you do when faced with such desperate circumstances?
