Puck From A Midsummer Night’s Dream 

Chuffed with their hand in playing Cupid, the audacious Puck spruiks an innovative matchmaking startup, D.R.E.A.M., to the dubious Oberon and Titania. Seeking financial support for this new enterprise and time off from fairy servitude, Puck pitches a business plan and a novel approach to meddle in and mend the hearts of mortals. 

The Cat  Based on the myth of the Chinese zodiac and ‘the great race 

Pouncing into the banquet hall and interrupting the Jade Emperor’s birthday feast, the disgruntled Cat addresses the Jade Emperor in front of the other assembled zodiac animals. Furious that cats were cheated out of their spot in the zodiac cycle, the Cat demands that the Jade Emperor reconsider his decision and grant them a spot as the 13th sign. 

Little Edie Based on the real person Edith Bouvier Beale

During a surprise inspection from the Suffolk County Health Department, Little Edie is shocked to learn that Grey Gardens is to be condemned. Facing eviction in 30 days and desperate to remain in the house, a delusional Little Edie tries to charm the health inspector with her socialite status and pleads to be allowed to live in peace. 

The Con Artist Based on the real person Anna Delvey 

Recently released from prison and serving the remaining sentence under house arrest, the unapologetic Con Artist lures a potential ‘sucker’ to their home to present their latest ‘legitimate’ business opportunity. Pitching a tantalising get-rich-quick scheme to the naive investor, the Con Artist implores the investor to overlook their dubious past. 

The Supporter Based on the poem, ‘Life Cycle’ by Bruce Dawe 

At their local club’s ‘best and fairest’ awards night, a passionate Supporter challenges the ‘old-timers’ who bemoan that Australian Rules football has changed too much. In an attempt to show that they are wrong, and to highlight that their ‘old-fashioned’ values are hindering the progress of the game, the Supporter demonstrates how footy still has heart and is now more inclusive than ever.
