COMPLICITY presented by Keep Left Theatre
---------------------------------------------------------
Complicity . . . A workplace death . . . A fight for justice . . .
Is the right to die the only right granted freely to workers ? Why does
our society deem industrial accidents to be an unpleasant trifle and why
is industrial manslaughter condoned in the pursuit of profits?
Keep Left Theatre explores the after-shocks of a death in a small
industrial plant. A process line churns out a very necessary commodity -
cigarette lighters for cars. Cost cutting, forced overtime, non-union
labour, and the modern slavish pursuit of economic rationalism combine
with old-fashioned greed to produce the inevitable tragic result.
This production examines the effects on the surviving workers and their
fight for safe working conditions. Complicity is performed in the
recognisable style of Keep Left Theatre where fast moving scenes,
dramatic dialogue intersperse with comedy relief. Once again writer
Frank Otis and director Chris Gaffney take a controversial issue and
give us a topical, witty and deeply moving production

HARD TRAVELING . . .
The WOODY GUTHRIE Story in Song
---------------------------------------------------
He inspired the likes of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springstein and Billy Bragg.
Woodrow Wilson Guthrie is often considered as the original folk song
hero - as early as the 1930's he was the first to use the folk ballad as
a means of social protest.
This informative and entertaining night will rediscover the songs and
stories of Woody Guthrie - from the Dust Bowl Ballads to his Union and
anti-fascist songs. Features PETER HICKS (Tasmanian Folk Hero), MELANIE
SHANAHAN (from Alaska) and the VICTORIAN TRADE UNION CHOIR.
