Among the jokes and the secrets, the back strain and biceps, they learn that ‘difference’ is more to do with your point of view and that no matter what, ‘you wouldn’t be dead for quids!’ A heart-warming comedy about life, friendship and being a codger. 2 Five senior Aussie men, four of them mates since war service, meet one morning each week in a gymnasium…they exercise together, chew the fat together about their families, laugh, tease and sing. They solve the problems of the world, agreeing to disagree. But some surprising and disturbing elements enter to test and challenge their comfortable relationships with each other and the world around them. Secrets, differences and loss of trust threaten to destroy the long-established friendships. JIMMY, the jokester, worries about having something to leave his grand-daughter; old LES has to cope with losing his marbles; conservative PATRICK suspects his mate KEITH of having an affair; and good-natured ribbing about old political sores becomes tense when a newcomer’s enthusiasm to join the group ruffles everyone’s feathers and exposes long-held prejudices.

    Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage

    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

As noted in the book Oasis in the West (Jones 1985: 107) describing actions to reduce flies: “The Inspector of Nuisances was particularly keen to reduce the fly menace, particularly severe at Strathfield because of the proximity of the sale yards and abattoirs at Homebush. 1917 saw an extensive anti-fly campaign co-ordinated by a committee; 119 children wrote essays about flies in a Council- organised competition. The Inspector experimented successfully with treating manure to make it unattractive to flies and Nock and Kirbys provided a free display of fly control equipment, some of which was stolen – a sign of a severe fly problem”. The Council, following and supporting its crusading Inspector, distributed pamphlets. According to reports, statues and posters of large flies advertised the campaign. Some of the signs were pulled down and the Inspector grimly noted in the minutes that this action suggested people who had not The Sun 27 February 1929, p11 evolved from primeval man who would have to shoulder guns in wars to improve their ‘miserable carcasses”. Another campaign involved eradication of mosquitos in the 1920s. Mosquitos were a problem in Strathfield and Homebush due to the presence of marshes, low lying land particularly around the Cooks River forming puddles with stagnant water, mangroves around Powells Creek and Parramatta River and the nearby sheep and cattle saleyards.
  • A Panel Discussion of Freud's Last Session

    A Panel Discussion of Freud's Last Session

    MEDIA RELEASE August 20, 2013 SEX, GOD & THE WARDROBE - A PANEL DISCUSSION OF FREUD’S LAST SESSION “Things are only simple when you choose not to examine them” – Freud’s Last Session Following the performance of the hit play Freud’s Last Session on Sunday September 1 at 3pm, the audience is invited to stay and hear Dr Rachael Kohn, Peter FitzSimons, Dr Tanveer Ahmed and Roy Williams discuss God, sex and the other simple things of life. Freud’s Last Session centres on legendary psychoanalyst Dr Sigmund Freud (played by Henri Szeps), who invites a young, little-known professor, C.S. Lewis (Douglas Hansell), to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be hauled over the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II (3 September 1939), Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life – only a few weeks before Freud chooses to take his own. The Panel Discussion will be moderated by Dr Rachael Kohn, producer and presenter of ABC Radio National’s The Spirit of Things, and the panelists will be: • Peter FitzSimons – journalist, author and atheist • Dr Tanveer Ahmed – psychiatrist and author • Roy Williams – lawyer and author of books including In God They Trust?, a study of the religious beliefs of Australia’s Prime Ministers since 1901. Inspired by Dr Armand S. Nicholi Jr's 2003 book The Question of God, playwright Mark St. Germain has expertly crafted a thought provoking play, which ran Off-Broadway for two years and now Sydney audiences and critics alike are acclaiming the play.
