1 1 y separately published work icon Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam Steve Rodgers , 2018 13970630 2018 single work drama

'What would you do for your children? This is a haunting tale about families, the love and bond between a parent and a child. Which way does the moral compass turn?

'An evocative, haunting, moving tale about loss and familial relationships, a husband and wife, parents and children, brother and sister. It explores the nature of an ideal family, and their quest to define their lives through each other, isolating themselves from the outside world. The play is rumination on a kind of suffocating love.'

1 King of Pigs Steve Rodgers , 2016 single work drama

'‘’Yeah you’ve got rights. You’ve got a whole lot of rights. You know what you haven’t got?’’

'One Woman. Four Men. She could be with all of them; at twenty-two on a date on the Gold Coast, at thirty-one moving into an apartment in Albert Park, or at forty, happily married with a nine-year-old son living in Campsie. Four very different worlds share an identical space, our homes.

'King of Pigs throws us into a blistering series of reality pockets. Each glimpse we get provides a momentary view of a vast panoramic lie. It’s a lie every man tells himself privately but every woman lives with publicly.

'A direct response to the nature of power and the way men licence themselves to abuse it.' (Production summary)

1 7 y separately published work icon Food Steve Rodgers , 2012 Surrey Hills : Shanahan Management , 2012 Z1841989 2012 single work drama

'A country highway. A greasy takeaway joint. Two sisters. One of them left, one stayed behind. One chose chaos, the other control. One chose sex, the other - food. Enter Hakan Leventoglu, aka Hassan the Beautiful.

'Kate Champion is riding the wave of a decade of brilliant work across theatre, opera and dance, notably with her celebrated company Force Majeure.Steve Rodgers is a theatrical marvel who writes and acts with equal aplomb. Their work meets here within the classic architecture of great drama: feuding sisters, a charming man and the possibility of transformation.

'The sisters battle it out, trying to make sense of who they were, who they are and whether they can ever allow each other to be something else.' (Source: Belvoir St Theatre website)

— Appears in: The Australian , 23 June 2009; (p. 11)

— Review of Savage River Steve Rodgers , 2009 single work drama
1 7 y separately published work icon Savage River Steve Rodgers , Strawberry Hills : Currency Press Griffin Theatre Company , 2009 Z1593820 2009 single work drama 'From a ramshackle hut by the water, Kingsley forages a living with his young son, Tiger. Times are tough and money in short supply, but with good humour, invention and resilience they make the best of it, bundled together as family. One night, Kingsley brings home the beguiling Jude, who unwittingly changes three lives overnight. Jude seems happy enough to enjoy Tiger and Kingsley's attention, and let history slip by. History does, though, have a habit of catching up with you. A warm, affectionate and moving story of the glimpsing of freedom and the weight of the things that shackle us.' (Publisher's blurb)
