UPCOMING PRODUCTION: Nothing to Lose

How well do you know your loved ones? How well do you know yourself?

Nothing to Lose is an engrossing new drama that challenges our perceptions of ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

The play opens with two strangers stranded at a third world airport. Their charged encounter escalates into a life-changing event when a third person arrives and causes them to question everything they think they know.

Compelling and surprising, this one-act play is sure to engage.

SHORT + SWEET FESTIVAL

Melbourne 2009

Fifth Gear Productions was selected from thousands of entries as a Finalist in the festival and performed ‘The Bee Charmer’  in the Gala Final on Sunday 6 December.

We were voted ‘The People’s Choice’ in our Wildcard performance on Saturday 28 November, and joined the winners of the Top 30 and other Wildcard performances throughout the 3 weeks of the festival in a highly entertaining and exciting final.  

Once again Emma Choy and Philip Hayden took the stage to perform to a full and highly responsive audience in the two-hander written and directed by Adèle Shelley.

She’s My Baby opened on Tuesday 6th October to a near full house and a fabulous reception! Fifth Gear Productions’ premiere season was a huge success . . .

Beat Magazine said . . .

‘Poignant, tear jerking, funny and moving, She’s My Baby is a beautiful play that will tug at your heartstrings, tickle your feet, and grab you by the groin from the get go.’

Melbourne’s Hot or Not said . . .

‘HOT . . . The writing was engaging, naturalistic and the script contained many true and often humourous observations about the loving and sometimes difficult relationship between parents and children.’
