Directed by Katherine Bethell
Starring: Kate Richard, Pat McCloy, Mike Ferguson, Anne-Marie de la Giroday, Jenny Abel, Amanda Duff, Eva Markvoort, and Kassia Warshawski
Fred ends up on an island of woman…sounds good, or is it? Mad cap fun for anyone who’s pondered the notion. The shocking truth for those who haven’t.
The Rise and Fall of Anne Boland
Written by Clare Morgan

The World Pulls Heavy
Written by Leah Bailly

Medea Lived
Written by Gabrielle Pope
Directed by Kathleen Greenfield

Colin Rushford is the ultimate ladies’ man. But his prowess will soon be put to the test—by two different and yet strikingly similar women!
