I Contain Multitudes—post show

Here's Cath, Vanessa and Donna with our fabulous director and producer Gus Supple—all looking pretty happy—after the second and final performance of I CONTAIN MULTITUDES at The Old 505 Theatre on 12 November.

And here are our actors with Gus (on the far right of the photo). From the back and left to right the actors are: Matt Charleston (A Child into the World by Catherine Zimdahl), Melinda Dransfield (A Cleansing Force by Donna Abela), Felix Jozeps (Narcissus by Hilary Bell), Stephen Wilkinson (iSpiderman by Noëlle Janaczewska), Jennifer White (Sex-Ed by Ned Manning), Madeleine Jones (The World's Tiniest Monkey by Vanessa Bates) and Josipa Draisma (Ariadne by Verity Laughton).

They're not in the photos, but thanks also to composer Michael Imielski, stage manager Oliver Rynn and the wonderful NovemberISM playwrights (Tamara Asmar, Kit Brookman, Rebecca Clarke, Tahli Corin, Joanna Erskine & Rick Viede) for the opportunity to do I CONTAIN MULTITUDES.

About 7-ON

7-ON Playwrights was established in 2005 by Donna Abela, Catherine Zimdahl, Ned Manning, Noëlle Janaczewska, Vanessa Bates, Verity Laughton and Hilary Bell. Seven minds that don’t think alike but are simpatico in this—our belief in the transformative properties of our artform and its place in Australian culture. With over 200 plays between us, our work has been produced on stages across Australia. Internationally, we have been produced in Botswana, the US, the UK, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, France, Canada, Vietnam, Korea and Japan. We have over 40 awards between us including: 14 Australian Writers’ Guild Awards, 4 Griffin Playwriting Awards, 3 Premiers’ Literary Awards, 4 Inscription Awards, an Adelaide Critics’ Circle Prize, a Phillip Parsons Young Playwright’s Award, a Wyndham Campbell Prize, a Centenary Medal, a Patrick White Playwrights’ Fellowship, and a Human Rights Award for Drama. As 7-ON we advocate for playwrights, initiate performance and publishing projects, and support and celebrate each other’s work. We create projects that are best served by a multitude of voices. These have included The Seven Needs (Griffin, 2007), Thus Spake Zarathustra (Wollongong University, 2008), Long Shadows (STC workshop, 2009), Platonic (Hothouse development, 2013), We Are The Ghosts Of The Future (Rocks Discovery Museum, 2015), and various works under the banner of Old Texts Revisited (ABC Radio, 2009), I Contain Multitudes (Novemberism Playwriting Festival, 2011) and No Nudity, Weapons or Naked Flames (MayDay! Playwrights’ Festival, 2013) which presented a selection of monologues from our anthology of the same name published by the Federation Press in 2012. We are also included in Currency Press’ anthology of short plays Short Circuit (2009).
