1 Hollywood Ending Rapid Write : Hollywood Ending Christopher Johnson , 2012 single work drama

'Hollywood Ending is a wickedly satirical, wildly untrue account of the most controversial film of the year – a piece of atrociously written propaganda that provoked religious rage across the world.

'With one last shot to make something that matters, washed up Aussie director Don gathers an entourage of previous collaborators to realise his artistic vision. But can he pull off something bigger than Ben Hur with a lunch money budget?

'In a play so here, so now, it’s barely in existence, Arts Radar introduces the lightning-fast, rock ‘n’ roll Rapid Write concept to Australia which was first developed at London’s lauded Theatre503 by its co-artistic director Tim Roseman, to create theatre that responds to the current events of our world. Going from blank page to stage in just 8 weeks, theatre doesn’t get much more immediate than this.'

1 2 La La Land Christopher Johnson , 2008 single work drama humour 'When Terry Swanton gains art-house kudos for his small Australian independent film, he gets summoned to Los Angeles by Jimmy Fleishberg, the Greatest Independent Movie Producer In Hollywood. Jimmy's got Big Ideas for Terry's new screenplay, and La La Land is a crazy place. Nutty foreign directors, egotistical cult-ridden movie stars, drug dealers with three-picture development deals and abandoned Aussie TV actors are just part of Terry's sometimes absurd journey into the dream factory known as LA. (Los Angeles).' Source: www.darlinghursttheatre.com (Sighted 28/04/2008).
