The Past is not a Place
By Beatrice Colin
Directed by Gaynor Macfarlane

When three female journalists arrive at a health spa on an isolated island, they expect a few days of relaxing detoxification. But this is no ordinary holiday destination, as they quickly discover. As lust, regret and betrayal all threaten to crack their fragile equilibrium, the women come face to face with what brought them there and why.

The Girl Who Insisted She Wasn’t
By Ariadne Cass
Directed by Jemima Levick

Serafina’s sudden return to her family’s Fijian village causes outrage and fierce gossip. She and Priti, an old Indian woman, console one another with friendship and stories that transcend the racial tensions of the military coup. But with time, the boundaries between myth, magic and reality are blurred, with tragic consequences. A unique first play by Australian writer Ariadne Cass.
