Ghosts compare stars signs; a life in a share house in a bowl of spaghetti becomes dramatic; love games are played down by the train tracks; people with heads the shape of shapes have a cocktail party in the 50s; and racist pornstars look for love in all the wrong places.

REVIEWS:

"Without doubt, the best direction of a short-play season that I’ve seen...a world that seemed made for each of the very-different works and is so funny and fascinating that the change-over moments between each play are as good as the plays...

A reminder that short plays can, and should, be wonderful"

-AussieTheatre

“The off-kilter corridor of a cheap motel, each entranceway lit up with unearthly neons…Group Show begins like an early David Lynch film, a mood of surreal suburbia and the oddities that lie behind each door uniting this showcase of five short works by emerging playwrights”
– The Age
