They're Playing Our Song
A musical with book by Neil Simon, lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager and music by Marvin Hamlisch
Directed by Max Rayner
In a story based on the real-life relationship of Hamlisch and Sager, a wisecracking composer (Vernon) finds a new, offbeat lyricist (Sonia), but initially the match is not one made in heaven. The two undergo a series of trials and have to overcome a number of hurdles before finding true love by the final curtain.
Accompanying Vernon and Sonia are two, three-person Greek choruses (one chorus for each character!), which act as their inner voices. Although there are no big production numbers, They're Playing Our Song promises just pure enjoyment and entertainment.

Influence
A comedy/drama by David Williamson
Directed by Les Zetlein
Ziggi Blasko knows how to turn fear into hate. A talkback radio host with 'commonsense' answers, he likes to push buttons. His diatribes against political correctness, feminism, multiculturalism, immigration and bleeding hearts flood the airwaves and the scary part is that people listen. At home however his influence isn't quite so great—his wife Carmela is too narcissistic to listen much, his daughter Vivienne is a manic depressive, his father Marko is a Croatian refugee with a secret that could destroy Ziggi's career, and his sister Connie is as strong-minded as Ziggi, but with opinions and solutions worlds apart.
When Zehra, a Turkish housekeeper with a moral core diametrically opposed to Ziggi enters the fray, the simplistic contradictions of Ziggi's world view look set to implode.

Why Me?
A comedy by Stanley Price
Directed by Kym Clayton
Stanley Price's deftly observed play is a very funny comedy about a serious and topical issue—the plight of a middle-aged man whose very self-concept is shattered when he is made redundant after having worked all his life.
John Bailey returns to his South London home a new member of the "over three million club", and a bitter recipient of a "tarnished chrome" handshake. In the course of the ensuing summer he struggles bravely with job rejections, loss of dignity in the face of his wife's hugely successful pizza business, an adulterous affair with the next-door neighbour, the incipient break up of his marriage, and the shattering revelation that his teenage son is a transvestite rock musician. He finds comfort in the Book of Job, seeing it as a parable for the recession—but like his biblical counterpart, will he have a happy ending?
There are six characters in the play: John Bailey, his wife Helen, his son Tom, his mother-in-law Mary Ferguson, and next door neighbours Gwen and Arthur Hollis.
