23.01.2022 The 2020 South-West Shorts performance was a triumph of WA talent! Seven fabulous new works brought to the stage by seven different production teams at the beautiful Margaret River HEART theatre broke off the Covid blues for our sell-out crowd and the 30+ theatre artists who made it happen. Thank you to everyone there and to our online audience for your enthusiastic response and for supporting WA theatre. PHOTOS by Jann Lane, Margaret River.

23.01.2022 We have had a few communications from some theatres what does Phase 3 of Covid19 mean for rehearsals in WA? I rang the Department of Culture & The Arts a coupl...e of days ago and they confirmed over the phone with me that rehearsals fall under the highlighted sentence below in image1. After all - performing arts is the creative sport ;-) image2 is the email I received.

11.01.2022 Introducing South-Shorts Finalist Sullivan Rhodes. At sunset, Sullivan roams the foreshore at Coodanup and watches ospreys, pelicans, and strange people wading out to sea. He is wonderfully married with lots of children. Sullivan writes poetry, short stories and novels, and his first play is Come Crabbing!: They are from out-of-town. The poster shows a perfect silver-haired couple waving their crab nets like rallying flags. Come crabbing with us! No-one would fall for that, surely? Well, meet Jack! One moonless night he wades into the estuary, dragging his better half behind him.
