Ill Met at Short and Sweet

A while back, I wrote this short play called Ill Met By Moonlight. Do not be fooled by the Shakespeare quote name: the synopsis goes a little something like this:

The biggest problem facing teenage girls today is not school, friends, which dress to wear, or which party to go to on Saturday night. Something secret, terrible, deadly and sparkly is invading the bedrooms of teenage girls - are you prepared?

Yes, it is a spoof of Twilight. Yes, it features glitter. Lots of glitter.

Anyway, after being performed in Canberra in 2010 and Wollongong in 2011, Ill Met is coming to Sydney in 2012 as part of the Short + Sweet festival. It's in Week One (January 4-8) at the Newtown Theatre on King St, and this is me shamelessly begging you (yes, you) to come and see it.

Tickets are available here. Hope to see you there!

The Ugly One

I reviewed Griffin Theatre Company's show The Ugly One for Australian Stage - you can read the review here.

(PS: In 2012, I'll try and make things on this actual blog a little more interesting than a bunch of links to stuff I've written elsewhere. Promise!)
