  • Walking Dead by David Kemp
  • Sausages by Rebecca Lister
  • The Sunburnt Country by Camilla Maxwell

All seven plays will be performed each night.

The description reads, "Experience the loss and heartbreak of Sarah's shattered relationship, Walter's joy at finding his soul mate in the most unexpected place, Fred's pleasure at embracing his nakedness, English backpackers smizing and a sexy string of sausages! The stories will shimmer and shine with their realness and raw intimacy. As diverse as St Kilda itself, you will be taken on a roller coaster ride into the melting pot of life."

The cast features Alicia Beckhurst, Lee Beckhurst, Josie Eberhard, Danelle Lee, Lee McClenaghan, Harriet James, Charlie Schneeberger, Brenton Wade & Zak Zavod. Louise Howlett directs with set design by Kate Ferguson and lighting design by Richard Lyford-Pike.
