A school teacher quits her job and starts a new life for herself as a truck driver

As a young child, Frederic had been apprenticed to a pirate by mistake when he should have been apprenticed to a pilot. Now, having reached his 21st year, Frederic's indentures are at last over and he happily leaves the service of the pirates. When Frederic meets the beautiful Mabel, one of the many daughters (or wards in Chancery) of Major-General Stanley, they fall in love and decide to marry. However, complications arise when the pirates decide to marry the rest of the Major-General's daughters, themselves - and Frederic's birthdate turns out to be not all it seems. Opera Australia's 2006 rendition of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera.

When a group of macho footballers who haven't won a match in two years take on a private coach and start winning, the team have only one problem. They don't want anyone to know that their coach is the town's newly-arrived ballet teacher. Juliet has come in search of a new life with her young son and finds the place less sympathetic than she had bargained for. This lively comedy takes the lid off Australia's macho image and discovers that it's not quite as tough as it likes to imagine.

A disgraced young Melbourne lawyer is sent to purgatory in Broome - and discovers a body, himself, and Paradise.
