'Hey d*#kface,

'I know where to find a dead kangaroo. There’s one in the bush near my house. Want to see it? I’m going tonight. Sneaking out my window. Unless you’re scared. Are you scared? Are you nervous? No? Meet me at the fallen tree.

'Lucy and Arnold are 13. Both outcasts. Both have seen hard times. Both irrevocably changed from one adventure into the bush looking for a dying kangaroo. Now they must navigate a wasteland of broken hearts, peed pants and carrot spew. It’s homework, hormones and homicide.

'A hit of The Blue Room Theatre 2019 season, this modern suburban coming-of-age story explores how we hurt each other, how we help those that are hurting, and how your music taste is never better than when you’re a teenager.'

1 Penthouse Campbell Pollock , 2018 single work drama

'Penthouse parades you through the vulgar reality that surrounds high-end living; the numbness of wealth, the need for power, and an unquenchable thirst for entertainment.

'Griffin, the billionaire tycoon, is ruthless in his pursuit of stimulation; price is no issue, and when you’re the elite there are no rules either. Griffin’s protégé Cal is determined to score a slice of his wealth, and so seems the same with Finn, the striving musician Griffin takes under his wing. How far will they go for a taste of the 1%?'

'A fisherman catches himself a wife, and so begins this charming love story. The Inconsequential Lives of Little Fish is an unlikely romance set in a world filled with corruption and greed.

On the journey a storm wrecks the boat and leaves our couple with an enormous debt. They are conned into bonded labour – the fisherman is trafficked and his wife is put to work in a fish processing factory.'
