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.

Week One (named for stage and screen actor Nicole da Silva) opens on Friday 16 September with 8 terrific plays – among them Carole Dance’s The Travel Writer, Unreasonable Situations by Lindsey Brown and Joseph Atkins’ Red Yellow Blue.
Veteran of dozens of Short+Sweet festivals Dance’s play – which she directs herself – stars her daughter-in-law Julia Dance
as a travel writer struggling to enter ‘normal’ life after months in the jungle.
A playful monologue which captures the deep emotions in us all … and the urge to escape!

Red Yellow Blue is by the late Joseph Atkins – an outrageously funny, prodigiously talented, complex and complicated young man who died aged 27
leaving behind a sheaf of terrific film and stage scripts, this piece he penned for Short+Sweet among them.
His mother, celebrated Australian dancer, choreographer and actor Sheree da Costa directs the piece
which stars Kate Jirelle and Aiden McKenzie as a couple in a car, the morning after after a ‘messy’ night.
Aiden did his AFTT graduation showreel scene with Joseph Atkins. Kate also appears in week three, directing her own play “To Those I Left Behind”.

Unreasonable Situations by Lindsey Brown, directed by Tui Clark, stars Short+Sweet 'legend' and former primaballerina Olga Tamara and Nicole Robinson
in a black comedy about a woman who goes out of her way to avoid confronting her philandering husband.

Other Week 1 plays include Audience Participation by Andrew Thompson, Vee Malnar’s Road Rage, Something Blue by Rae Welch directed by Hao Nguyen,
Ana Fenner’s Next Step (Amelia Gilday dir), Sarah Quartly’s The Kitchen Sink and Charlotte’s Room by Mike Sams, directed by Peter Morrissey-Smith.
