Three plays short-listed
Three plays to be performed at the Peninsula Theatre at the end of the month have been shortlisted for inclusion in the Melbourne Short and Sweet festival.
Catch a Falling Knife written by Mr John Fraser, The Big C by Shaun Tinkler and Rose Cooper's Double Take will be performed at the Short and Sweet Central Coast Festival from September 23 to 26, and potentially the Melbourne festival if chosen as a finalist.
Mr Fraser's play has already been chosen as a finalist in the Brisbane Short and Sweet festival before making his way into the Melbourne shortlist.
Artistic director for Short and Sweet Central Coast Ms Darlene Cole said the achievement of these local talented writers was fantastic to see.
"Short and Sweet Central Coast is a festival of bite sized dramatic treats."
This month, 10 short plays each of 10 minutes will be presented at The Peninsula Theatre.
"From comedy to drama, thriller to farce, there is something that will tantalise everyone and leave them wanting for more."
