'Whale Bay is home to the disaster-prone Thong family and to Australia's least visited tourist attraction, the Giant Thong. But that may be about to change, for all the wrong reasons...

'... because it's also home to Holden Thong, a 12-year-old with a wild imagination and ability to construct amazing gadgets from recycled scrap. Holden's father Trevor is determined to put Whale Bay on the map, any map. Trevor's hare-brained tourist-attracting schemes, combined with Holden's ill-conceived contraptions, ensure Whale Bay is perpetually about to be wiped off the map before it's even on one. Barely tolerating their antics is Holden's sister Narelle, who desperately wants to get out of Whale Bay, and his mother Brenda who just wants things to be normal. Given Holden's best friend, Rerp, is a cane toad in a school uniform, there's little chance of that!'

1 Plaything Simon Dodd , 2004 single work drama humour
— Appears in: Collection #7 : 27 New Plays from the Australian Script Centre 2008; (p. 21)
''Plaything' is a comedy that focuses on five characters who inadvertently are trapped on a stage with an audience observing them. The main characters, HE and SHE, have no recollection of who they are or why they are here, yet feel the pressure and obligation to perform for the audience. They are joined by OTHER MAN, who shares their lack of identity and purpose, but not their concern, and soon dies in curious circumstances.' (Source: Australian Script Centre website).
