Two provocations. One very contemporary conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Scraps, the familiar landscape of Brisbane becomes a meeting place for history, human folly and the curious lives of those we overlook. Even the ibis has a story to tell. Beneath the feathers, the scraps and the everyday absurdities lie questions about belonging, survival and whose version of history gets remembered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn That Word!  - The Arresting case of Norm and Ahmed, Alex Buzo's provocative play takes us into the territory of language, prejudice and the dangerous power of a word. First staged in 1967, its confrontation with racism and freedom of expression remains uncomfortably relevant. Have we really moved on, or have we simply found new ways to have the same argument?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the absurd to the confronting, from the overlooked to the unspeakable, these two plays invite us to look again at the stories, attitudes and assumptions that shape us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDOUBLE TAKE is sharp, irreverent and thought-provoking theatre that challenges us to reconsider what we think we know. The past isn't finished with us.
