"Pheremone Frenzy" written by Chris Hodson, directed by Bob Bramble

Damian and his mate Gary find a love potion while surfing the internet. Deciding to send away for it using his father’s credit card, Damian’s action inadvertently embroils his family in an unexpected but hilarious expose of hidden passions and frustrations. “Pheremone Frenzy” is a delightful comedy written by local playwright Chris Hodson

"The Killings at Newhaven" (Nolle Prosequi) written and directed by Joe Fairhurst

Nolle Prosequi relates the true story of an obsessed superintendent of a boys’ home on Phillip Island who in 1926 and 1933 killed two boys in his care. Dialogue is taken from court reports of 1934, extensive media coverage across Australia and from the author’s 10 years of research into the shocking events. The killer walked free, thanks to a document signed by Robert Gordon Menzies who was then Victoria’s Attorney General. The boys died with the slur of malingerer on their young souls and were buried in unmarked graves.
