Plays by Her Rules: A Women of Wollongong Short Play Exhibition

From concept to the stage in just weeks, eight writers have created eight original short plays in the continuation of the popular playwriting exhibition from award-winning theatre company Rising Arts Productions. The twist? Each writer must also devise a rule for the exhibitions ‘rulebook’: a list of prompts, guidelines and restrictions that MUST ALL feature in each of their plays. The end result is an anthology of short plays that explores and tests the imagination of our writers and audiences alike. 

Our March exhibition will be part of International Women’s Day week celebrations and showcase the fantastic female-identifying writers and performers in the Wollongong area. 

Our plays for this exhibition will be:
– ‘What If Love Attacks?’ by Kylie Baxter
– ‘Featherfall’ by Kate Grimwood
– ‘Courlo’ by Claire Honeywood
– ‘Cockroaches’ by Sarah Hurnall
– ‘Rags to Riches’ by Tilly Kidd
– ‘A Tale of Love and Woe’ by Michelle Rakos
– ‘Forgotten Fiction’ by Kirsten Tidbury
– ‘Lava and Her Mother’ by Tegan Ware
