Looking for something different this weekend? Step away from the streaming services and enjoy a night of live theatre at Port Fairy’s Short Play Festival!
Presented by the Port Fairy Theatre Group, this entertaining showcase features five original short plays written by local playwrights and brought to life by talented local directors and performers.
🎭 The Waiting Room — Written by Matt Neal, directed by Lisa Graham. Three strangers sit in a waiting room with no idea why they’re there… are they dead, or is something else going on?
🛏️ 60 Seconds to Bed — Written and directed by Rob Foard. A dad’s simple bedtime mission becomes anything but simple when his daughter has plans of her own.
👩💼 The Grey Woman — Written and directed by Cindy Lee Morgan. An office comedy-drama where ageism and “administrative bloat” collide — but who really has the final say?
🎣 Waiting for Cod-O — Written by Jim Ewing, directed by Tricia Smith. Two ageing fishermen chase “the big one” — but will they land it, or will it outsmart them?
🕵️ Too Many Crooks — Written by Kath Harper, directed by Anja Harley. A murder mystery with a room full of private detectives… surely someone can solve the case?
Come along for an evening of laughs, mystery, and great local theatre!
