Four writers have dramatised Australian true crime cases and created four 30 minute plays:
HOUSEBOUND: Perth: An innocent young couple move into their new home to discover they’re living at the scene of horrific past crimes. A tale inspired by David & Catherine Birnie’s 1986 murder spree.
THE BLOOD ON HELMUT LANGE: Coburg, Melbourne: The story behind what many claim to be the unjustified execution of Ronald Ryan in 1967.
MORNING TEA AT THE CAROUSEL CABARET: Kings Cross, Sydney: Publisher and anti-development campaigner Juanita Neilsen disappears. What happened during the 24 hours leading up to her vanishing? A story inspired by the disappearance of Juanita on 4th July 1975.
SHOTS: Melbourne: Two men, one escaping violence and the other seeking it, collide with fatal consequences. Two stories arising from the shooting massacre perpetrated by Hell's Angels bikie Christopher Wayne Hudson in Melbourne's CBD in 2007.
SEASON: Wed May 27 to Sat June 20 2009 @ The Factory. Box Office Bookings: 9550 3666 or www.factorytheatre.com.au
