]]> David Williamson’s THE GREAT DIVIDE is now playing until 27 Apr! Don’t miss this biting social comedy about greed and power.

Two women in business attire sit at a desk. One, with short hair and glasses, works on a laptop. The other, with curly hair in a bun, sits opposite her, leaning forward and listening intently. Blinds and cityscape in the background. A man with grey hair and a beard types on a laptop at a wooden table, sitting in a brightly lit room with a modern chair in the background. A woman in a light blue checked dress stands with her hands on her hips, looking to the side. She is indoors near a lamp, a plant, and a slatted wall. The lighting is warm and focused on her. A woman stands on a brightly lit blue stage, smiling with her hands clasped. She wears a tan top and white trousers. Behind her are modern chairs, a standard lamp, and window blinds, with the background partially in shadow. Two women sit facing each other in a brightly lit room. One is in a school uniform and boots, sitting casually on a chair, whilst the other, dressed in white trousers and a tan top, sits comfortably in an armchair. Both are smiling. A woman in a white suit gestures seriously towards a seated older man in casual clothes. They are on a blue stage set with modern chairs, plants, and blinds, suggesting a tense conversation in a contemporary setting. A woman in a suit sits at a desk with a laptop, looking thoughtful. An older man in casual clothes gestures as he speaks, whilst another man in a suit stands nearby, watching seriously. A woman with brown hair in a bun, wearing a white blazer, stands in profile indoors. Behind her are a white chair, standard lamp, green plant, and colourful wall art. The setting appears modern and stylish. A person stands indoors holding a surfboard, silhouetted against a warm, glowing background with vertical light panels and decorative plants. Two people sit on the floor in a dimly lit room. One rests their head on a striped cushion while the other gently cradles their head, both appearing thoughtful or comforting each other. A woman in a grey dress stands under a spotlight on a dark stage, smiling whilst holding a wine glass and a pastry. Her shadow is cast on the blue-lit floor behind her. Two women sit on modern chairs in a brightly lit room, each with a bag beside them. One wears a white suit and looks at the other, who wears a striped shirt and jeans. Both appear deep in thought or conversation. A man in a casual shirt sits at a table looking concerned while another man in a suit stands behind him, gesturing emphatically as if speaking or arguing.
