The Plays

Closing Time is a double bill about... time... and waiting. For endings and beginnings. The unknown and the predictable.

Either side of an interval, you will be treated to 2 plays - both covering similar and complimentary themes, in 2 very different styles.


Time to Remember...

by Nikolas Ward

In the first play two strangers find themselves stuck in a room together. They are waiting for... well... they're not be sure. But they're sure they'll know it when it gets there (or gets them).

Facing up to "getting on" with your life, the dangers and difficulty of madness and how to know when it's right to act, and right to just... do nothing - 2 strangers have to find their own way... together.


Our Miss Fitson

by Kate O'Brien

Then, in the next play - "a monologue for two actors" - an ex-teacher faces the straight-forward opinion of one of her ex-students, head on.

In an interview with the ABC, Miss Fitson reveals all to the world. But how well do we really "know" anyone - and how much time do we really have?
