Short And Sweet Week 8

Event Date: 23/03/2018, 07:30 pm

Week Eight – with 10 short plays nightly
Short+Sweet has spread the popular 10-minute format in theatre, dance, cabaret & comedy across Australia and the globe – with festivals now as far afield as Hollywood, India, Malaysia, Dubai and NZ.
Its Hollywood festival is one of the world’s go-to showcases for new talent on stage and screen.
But the original Sydney theatre festival is now in its 17th year and has a new home in Surry Hills’ Tom Mann Theatre.

Festival director Pete Malicki is a Short+Sweet legend, having written and directed for the fest for well over a decade.
This year S+S will again feature not only the judges’ voting and the People’s Choice audience votes,
but his director’s picks – all heading for the April Gala Finals.

Short+Sweet reaches its final week of heats from 22 March… with most of the finalists already confirmed for both the semi-finals week - from Tues 27 March to Sun 1 April - and the ultimate Gala Awards Finals 5-7 April.

Among the ten last hopeful short plays on offer in week 8 are a brilliant parody of TV News with a satirical feminist twist, a delightful story of an old couple celebrating an anniversary (with a twist) and a job interview that gets seriously out of hand!

There's what appears to be a self-devised physical theatre piece for two when something seriously weird occurs,a lesson in life from an Indian grandma to her adolescent grandson, a bungled bank robbery and a pirate musical, aaarrrr!

The Devil's Caress

Event Date: 23/03/2018, 07:30 pm

Celebrating Australia’s very own Agatha Christie, this classic 1950’s murder mystery.
Celebrating Australia’s very own Agatha Christie, this classic 1950’s murder mystery is now brought to stage for the first time. Melbourne crime writer June Wright had six novels published between1948 and 1966 including The Devil’s Caress (1952), an atmospheric thriller set in a clifftop home on a ‘fictional’ peninsula in Victoria. Waves crash and winds howl as the prerequisite number of interesting persons gather: ‘as odd a collection of medicos as ever snatched an appendix’ as The Argus (May 1952) put it. This stage adaptation is a fascinating fusion of the life & times of a talented writer with her most ambitious novel.

‘Wright was the first Australian crime writer to take seriously the idea that a woman can play a major role in detecting crime’ - Prof Stephen Knight, University of Melbourne, 2014

THE DEVIL’S CARESS
adapted by Wendy Lewis
based on the novel by June Wright
directed by Roz Riley
presented by Factory Space Theatre, an independent company of professional actors

Friday 23 March at 7.30pm; Saturday 24 March at 7.30pm; Sunday 25 March at 2pm; Friday 6 April at 7.30pm; Saturday 7 April at 7.30pm; Sunday 8 April at 2pm; Friday 13 April at 7.30pm; Saturday 14 April at 7.30pm. No performances over Easter weekend.

Featuring an uplifting story of rescuing one of the last Western Black Rhinos in existence, Nathan Harrison’s incredible solo performance explores the complexity of wildlife conservation.
Everything You Ever Wanted is a deeply personal exploration of the touchy subjects of diet culture and disordered eating. Joining the voices of fat activists and scientists before her, future-dietitian-turned-theatre maker Rachel Roberts stars in this captivating show revealing the dark underbelly of dieting.

Comedian Orny Adams is returning to Australia

Short, Sweet And Film

Event Date: 20/03/2018, 07:30 pm

Hot on the heels of the successful international finals in Hollywood last year, the second Sydney season is about to get underway.

Since its inception last year, the Short+Sweet Film Festival has attracted record numbers of entries
from filmmakers all over Australia and the world offering a range of genres for films - all under ten minutes.
This year the film festival runs parallel with the theatre festival (see week 5 release attached)
and will showcase a range of local and international movies across four heats running every Tuesday night from 6 March 7.30pm at the Tom Mann Theatre, Surry Hills - culminating in a Finals series over the Easter weekend.

Short+Sweet Founder Mark Cleary said he was committed to delivering “a world class film festival with an A-List Hollywood finale”.
“Over the past year we have presented Short+Sweet Film Festivals in Australia, India, SE Asia
and the Middle East with the winning films presented in LA at a Gala Final,” Cleary said.
The Hollywood screening was partnered by the world-renowned Stella Adler Academy of Acting and Theatre in LA that boasts such Hollywood heavyweights such as Mark Ruffallo, Brad Fisher and Benicio del Toro.

According to its Sydney-based festival director Greg Dolgopolov, the most important aspect of Short+Sweet is to bring local filmmakers together and in direct contact with their audiences.

Short+Sweet Film Sydney screens weekly Tues nights from 6 March 7.30pm
