"Hello? This is the Needybags Hotline. Which hole do you need filled?"

Both Polly's Waffle and Dumped explore the internal emotional landscape in a no-holds-barred and at times gut-wrenching examination of the human soul.

Polly's Waffle sees Fat Polly and Skinny Evelyn battling their demons and each other in a small suburban flat on a hot summer's night. An ultra-black comedy dealing with gluttony and lust, starring Summer Williams.

"She smelled like mystery. She smelled like a promise."

Dumped is a lyrical play dealing with pain and love, in which fifteen year old surfer boy Daniel breaks his back, just as he's falling in love with the beautiful Penny Sinclair. Starring Jeffrey Jay Fowler and Miley Tunnecliffe.

The commissioning editor of Best Australian Stories 2004 said writer Tiffany Barton (PTT/EGA nominee Best New Play, 2007) is one to watch, with a "unique style and voice" and "sure sense of the craft of writing".

Barton's two short plays are presented by a debuting company committed to producing high impact, thought provoking theatre.
