A Token Gift

A thriller about counterfeit men under robes of righteousness

After a life of tragedy, Alana joins the Australian Federal Police and soon meets CIA operative Nathan Collins, the man she expected to spend her life with, though that too turned to tragedy. Nathan contacts his estranged wife for assistance after three years apart when he is deployed to Spain and Morocco for an extremely dangerous assignment. One involving the staged assassination of the leader of a system not made accountable for a multitude of crimes performed by counterfeit men under cloaks of righteousness over the centuries. The threads of sexual and religious tension weave between Nathan and Alana, brought back together to execute this audacious plan.

Will the assassination attempt of the most powerful religious leader in the world bring the distraction required to detain them? Could this be the bridge they need to revisit their marriage, something they both secretly desire?

A Token Gift is threaded with political, religious, and historical facts.

Rude Boy

Based on true events

“Don’t waste time looking back, that’s not the direction you’re going anyway.”

Utter Nonsense, consisting of 7 members, was formed in 1980 and played gigs around Melbourne until they released their first EP in 1983, before touring the country.

After the release of “Changes Must Be Made”, they became a household name and were featured on several variety television programs nationwide before disappearing.

Mitchell Truce formed a Ska band with his high school friends and chose to drop out of school and follow his dreams. Starting in grungy, underground venues and pubs, Utter Nonsense was fast known as the ‘all- inclusive’ fun, new band with a UK sound. Their loyal fans, the Rude Boys are in danger of becoming overrun by the racist and violent National Front skinheads.

To complicate things even further, Mitch finds out that it is his girlfriend’s brother who is heading the local Nazi regime and causing most of the trouble at their gigs. The band tour the country focusing on their music and climbing the charts all the while facing the highs and lows of friendship, success, fame, and brotherhood.

Within 24 hours of celebrating an international tour opportunity, tragedy strikes the band, and all their dreams are left blowing in the wind.

Italian Short Plays

‘Gli Adolescenti’ and ‘La Lettera’

Both of the Italian short plays; ‘Gli Adolescenti’ and ‘La Lettera’ are intended to be used for educational purposes, as a high school based reading resource, to compliment the learning of the Italian language or for lovers of the Italian language. With the inclusion of English stage directions, the characters begin to come alive as they explore the many facets of being a teenager in ‘Gli Adolescenti’, and to delving into a forbidden love story in ‘La Lettera’.

Each Italian play has an introductory summary, written in English, in order to assist in understanding each of the performance themes. The topics of independence, rebellion, growing up and taking responsibility, autonomy, war, forbidden love, loss and hope are portrayed in the two Italian short plays.

Coming from an Italian background, it is important to pass on the joy of the Italian language to the next generation and to continue to hold the torch of light and love through the creative art form of theatrical storytelling.

Be prepared for each character to take you on a cultural journey and to discover the magic and excitement of being immersed in the Italian language.
