A person stands in the market square watching the world go by. What happens next verges on the ridiculous. There’s ice cream. Sunshine. Shops. Some dogs. A wedding. Bombs. Candles. Blood. Lightning. Sandwiches. Snipers. Looting. Gunshots. Babies. Actors. Azaleas. Famine. Fountains. Statues. Atrocities. And tanks. (Probably). Rory Mullarkey’s new play asks whether things really are getting worse. And if we care. “[Someone screaming]: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH” Photo credit: Johan Persson There will be a post-show talk on Tuesday 24 July, 2018 with playwright Rory Mullarkey.

SKET takes a controversial look at this phenomenon sweeping the streets of Britain. ‘SKET’ is a derogatory term, defined in urban street culture as a woman with no regard or care for morals or dignity. This fast paced retribution thriller provides a hard hitting front row seat of UK girl gangs and the adrenaline fuelled criminality they run on. There is a distinct lack of public knowledge about female gang culture, which results in a high level of fascination – yet not one film has dared to explore it – until now. I met with various members of male and female gangs in order to learn why young women were now, more than ever, adopting aggressive male behaviour. The more I immersed myself in their ideologies the more I realised that their shift in behaviour could be explained as progressive adaptation, a theme that is at the very heart of ‘Sket’: society is changing, and girls and women must change with it in order to survive.

  • Legislative Assembly
    19942 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 17 November 2005 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. Mr SPEAKER: I acknowledge that we are meeting on the land of the Gadigal clan of the Eora nation. We thank them for their custodianship of this land. RURAL COMMUNITIES IMPACTS BILL Second Reading Debate resumed from 10 November 2005. Mr GREG APLIN (Albury) [10.02 a.m.]: The managing partner of Lake Hume Resort outlined difficulties encountered with government policies, and in so doing he clearly defined the need for the Rural Communities Impacts Bill. Jon Ward described the Albury region as being out of sight and out of mind. He referred to delays in obtaining information and approvals. He is unimpressed that he has to explain that Albury is actually in New South Wales and government computers and inflexible employees cannot handle Lake Hume's 3691 postcode. He is angry at being told that the Land Titles Office is busy preparing titles for Sydney properties and that he will have to wait. He is frustrated that he is put on hold when trying to manoeuvre a way through a swathe of government red tape. He feels victimised because contracted conferences are transferred to Sydney because of Sydney-centric imperatives. Mr Ward makes the observation that centralisation of power and increased bureaucracy has resulted in the neglect of planning. He points to the inadequate supply and quality of water at Lake Hume Resort and village, the poor sewerage system and the fact that the last three kilometres of the dangerous, narrow and winding Riverina Highway have yet to be upgraded despite assurances from the Roads and Traffic Authority in October 1995 that the work would be completed in 1996.
