Anne Gollan and Sara Mae Libero.

DIAL EM AND M FOR MURDER
Direct from the City of Churches oops, murders comes this brutally funny
stand up show!
South Australia's funniest female, Emily O'Loughlin, teams up with comic
book writer turned stand-up comedian, Martin Reilly. Martin is
overwhelmed to be doing a show with a comedic superstar like Em
O'Loughlin - sure, she's mean to him - but aren't all superstars a bit
temperamental?
All she wants is $1, 000, 000 and a show of her own . . . All he wants
is not to be axed . . . and to work for Steven Spielberg!

THE STACKHAT IMPERATIVE
The final sorry chapter in the guerrilla comediocre trilogy . . .
Advertising pays for the programs you watch. Advertising is about
choice. Without advertising, you would be living in a cave and eating
slugs. So let’s all hold tightly to our genitals as we pay tribute to
the soldiers of fortune behind TV ads! MEET! the morally and
intellectually bankrupt maniacs who churn out wood-heater ads. SEE! how
you are sucked in to their schemes to sell you total crapola. GNASH!
your teeth as they face the final assignment which may bury us all. A
mix of slapstick, music, video and fierce satire you can be assured that
this is one trilogy that is going out with a bang!

FEVER - presented by Melbourne Workers Theatre
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Where does the FEVER of the nation burn hottest?
FEVER aims to uncover aspects of our society that are complex, difficult
and painful to comprehend. It is vital that we count the cost of current
behaviour, explore the darker nature of our past and call to account
those who are responsible. FEVER pushes beyond the boundaries of
realism, staking out its territory in another direction entirely; one
that uses allegory, epic theatre, surrealism and music-theatre to
investigate the burning issues of race, class, culture and environment.
"Fever ... is stimulating and challenging ... its appeal lies in its
courageous lack of certainty ... it is a deeper and more profound
exploration of the territory of Who's Afraid Of The Working Class? ...
its theatrical innovation and courage deserve the highest praise." -
Helen Thomson, The Age
"Fever is one of the most thought-provoking and incisive theatre
experiences of the year" - David Crofts, The Melbourne Times
"Melbourne Workers Theatre has emerged as one of the most compelling
creative forces in Australian theatre today." -B.News September 2002
Written by Andrew Bovell, Patricia Cornelious, Melissa Reeves , Christos
Tsiolkas. Directed By Julian Meyrick
Performed by David Adamson, Rodney Afif, Tony Briggs, Daniela Farinacci,

31st RESISTANCE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
When injustice becomes law, RESISTANCE becomes duty
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Join hundreds of young people from across Australia. Three day
conference and plenary on campaigns
We live in a world where billions are in poverty, where destruction of
the environment is reaching life-threatening proportions, where bombs
rain down on the defenseless and where refugees are put in concentration
camps. None of these injustices are inevitable, they are caused by a
system which values profits more than people, corporations more than
communities, and the "free market" more than freedom - capitalism.
The socialist youth organisation, Resistance, is taking up the fight for
an alternative - where refugees are free, all wars are ended, and
humanity breaks its chains.
Join the struggle and come to the 31st National Conference of
Resistance. Join with activists from all over the country as we organise
the next steps in the fight for social justice. With major forums on the
fight against racism, on the mass revolts of Latin America, on
resistance to the anti-women backlash and the challenge of stopping
imperialist war, this conference should not be missed by anyone who
wants a better world.
Sept 27, 28, 29 & 30
New Council Chambers
