The Gathering



Isobelle Carmody, whose novels and short stories have been published to much acclaim, and Steve Taylor, playwright, producer and director of many successful stage works, have combined their talents to produce these five thought-provoking plays. Moving freely between reality and fantasy, three have been adapted from Carmody's short story collection, Green Monkey Dreams, and two have been written by Carmody and Taylor especially for this collection.

* Corfu. Matthew need to escape, but he also needs to belong.

* Long Live the Giant. Faced with the gift of eternal life, Susan has to decide if deathlessness would heal the ills of our race.

* The Lemming Factor. The lure of the Piper's irresistible tune leads to a different road.

* Fans. Tragedy strikes at the opening of a new Hollyworld Café.

* Mad Inc. A disturbing journey through the mind of a troubled teenager.
