'Olivia and Eliza are two young, vibrant women who find themselves at odds with the world around them. Olivia is a frustrated sculptor trapped in her apartment by her own mocking lump of clay. Eliza lives in a psych ward and is at once haunted and blessed by visions that abound from every corner of her cramped hospital room. In the midst of it all is Olivia's happy-go-lucky partner Gareth who, by studying the minds of psych patients, finds himself to be Eliza's one ally in the otherwise suffocating ward. Approached with warmth, insight and humour, This Place examines how the lines between sanity and insanity become decidedly blurred.'

'An epic chronicle of the refugee experience, Beautiful Words weaves together three very different stories of survival, told through the eyes of three children in different times and places. The outcome is heart-rending, humorous, and surprising by turns. From the horrors of Auschwitz Concentration Camp in the final days of World War II, to Taliban-ruled Kabul, to present day Australia, this enthralling play presents a rich tapestry of human experience, overlapping lives, and the bonds that unite generations.'
