​The Eye of Wilkins

He was one of the greatest Polar explorers. He was also a world-class photographer. For the first time, the photos and films of South Australian, Sir George Hubert Wilkins are being brought together in this new documentary by Peter Maddern. From under the North Pole ice and deep among the front lines of the Western Front in the Great War, from sailing high above the earth in the Graf Zeppelin to riding the roiling seas on Shackleton's Quest, Wilkins kept his cameras going. His photographic record of the 30 years from 1910 to the Second World War is like no other.

If you haven't heard of this great man, this is a time to sit back and be amazed at what he achieved, at what he witnessed and at how he isn't better known in his home town. Part of the 'Bringing Wilkins Home' initiative.

The Death Show

Mourning!

Come into our lair, lay your heart bare, prepare to be ensnared and perhaps a little bit scared!

Death.

We all do it, so why do we ignore it?

When the end gives meaning to the life that comes before it? What if a reaper doesn’t want to be grim?

Has anyone bothered to ask her, or him?

Set in The Underworld, follow a brave, little grim reaper embarking on a heart-warming quest to discover the meaning of Death. Dead-set on bringing death to life with music, humour, a side-serve of accidental philosophy; The Death Show will have you laughing like The Joker, crying like Moaning Myrtle, and plummet you into an up-side-down world you won’t be expecting.

★★★★1/2 "witty and thought-provoking..." Fringefeed.

The Man Who Wrote Shakespeare

How did the man who wrote under the name Shakespeare manage to not only survive two years in the Tower of London, but also write Hamlet in the shadow of the executioner’s axe? Why did he allow Shakespeare to take all the credit? This trauma caused a radical shift in his writing to what might well be his last play.

To respect the Bard’s wish, please promise not to tell who really wrote Shakespeare. With Russell Starke, Emily Jo Davidson and Charles Herkes.
