of One Act Plays. These three witty comedies will have
you in stitches. The Oldest Profession is by Paula Vogel
and directed by Stephen Cummings: As Ronald Reagan enters

and learn new tricks as they fight to stay in the Life.
Featuring an experienced cast including Rhonda Pearce,
Marie Sellers, Denise Main, Shea Wicks and Joan Dalgleish.
The Craft: Two actors are busy performing a love story

they despise each other. But the show must go on! This
clever comedy features Gerard Dunning and Helen Herridge,
directed by Gavin Critchley. The Central Coast’s
Penny Dilworth has written a delightful comedy about
Writer’s Block: What happens when the words just
don’t come in time for the actors who are already

Deborah’s own life suddenly switches from an old
wives’ tale to the stuff of erotic fiction. The

Productions presents The Haunting of Daniel Gartrell
by Reg Cribb. Featuring Max Gillies and

A suburban hermit’s life unravels when confronted
by his own dark secrets in this suspenseful drama. Under
an ochre sky something happened at Mt Ragged. The incident
inspired celebrated bush poet Daniel Gartrell’s
most analysed poem. It is missing its final verse, and
the events that occurred at Mt Ragged, not to mention
the poet himself, are a mystery. Now an enigma, Gartrell
(Max Gillies) lives as a recluse in the suburbs, his
only contact is with his daughter. Gartrell is at home,
thinking very oblique thoughts when an emerging actor
(Samuel Johnson) knocks on his door. Ambitious and optimistic,
he has been cast to play Gartrell in a biographical
movie, and in his research for the role, is ready for
anything. But if he wants to know where Gartrell’s
poetry comes from and understand his state of mind when
he writes, he must in a sense become him. Gartrell leads
him on a merry chase, evading inquiries and playing
unhinged mind games. Is Gartrell an ornery hermit or
a madman gripped by delusions and ghosts that have chased
