Seven playwrights. Fifteen plays. Short plays, but whole worlds contained in them. Huge windows into the minds and times of seven extraordinary writers for the theatre.
These award-winning playwrights Donna Abela, Vanessa Bates, Hilary Bell, Nolle Janaczewska, Verity Laughton, Ned Manning and Catherine Zimdahl collectively known as 7-ON, have collaborated over multiple projects since they banded together in 2005.
Gathered here for the first time, Sharp Darts is a selection of some of 7-ON s best short works, chamber pieces for the stage and for audio. They take us from a lonely caravan on the edge of the ocean, to the footy oval of our teenage tragedies, a soulless suburban shopping mall, a futuristic island with its own language, a boat on a river in the deep deep dark, across a nostalgic backyard fence, inside the implosion of a dynasty, and beyond.
These sharp, pointed portraits of Australia by some of our country s best playwrights are by turns dark, funny, surprising, moving and political, but above all inspiring in their vision and creativity.
