'After 50 years of marriage, these Baby Boomers from Balwyn annoy one another so much… they literally want to kill each other. Meanwhile, Greta Thunberg is on the TV telling them that the world is on fire and it’s all their fault.

'Their comedic dissent into the disappointing abyss of unfulfilled dreams and a mounting fear of ‘what’s outside’ is layered with precision timing, nonsensical absurdity and deadpan delivery.'

'As a flight attendant, Kelly Archer has seen it all and solved it all. But passenger 48 has taken it too far. Kelly lashes out and by the time the plane lands she’s an international pariah, shamed online, cancelled and loathed.

'Hiding in her apartment and besieged by the media she cries out for help… and help comes, in the form of a medieval Knight!… or is he?  What follows is a time travel odyssey about courage, forgiveness, duty and the joy of chocolate as the oddest couple in history do battle with their dragons.'

'1946. Darkest Africa. Colour Sergeant Atkins - British Army - has been left to guard the barracks ... alone. It's time to pull down the flag (his beloved Colours) and the natives are getting restless for independence - but Atkins has other ideas!'

'The Colours' is 'a comic tale of one soldier's steadfast refusal to accept change in a world that no longer wants him.'

'Bill drives a clapped out '68 Jag and wears second hand clothes. He's an experienced theatre director on the verge of a nervous breakdown. There's less than 24 hours until the curtains go up and this production is unraveling...fast. Enter Jules, the latest fresh-faced television star of Murder Squad. He's the name that's going to sell the tickets. Without him the show is doomed. But when Jules fails to perform the simplest of acting tasks, Bill's raison d'etre becomes teaching his young pupil the very meaning of farce.'

'The China Incident is the story of one woman, a perfect storm of crises, and altogether too many phones. Bea Pontivec is a high-flying, highly-strung diplomatic consultant who’s quite literally well connected. She has hotlines to the White House, to the United Nations, to a bloodthirsty dictator. She’s a power-broker, a playmaker, a cast-iron negotiator, a control freak. But as this pin-sharp satire becomes more frenetic, and her personal and professional lives collide, Bea will learn the meaning of the term ‘communications breakdown’.'
