7-ON PLAYWRIGHTS: If you're in Melbourne ...

Friday, 29 October 2010

If you're in Melbourne ...

7-ON's first ever project was The Seven Needs - 7 short plays inspired by Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs: food, shelter, sex, safety, belonging, respect and spirit. These plays were performed individually throughout the Griffin Theatre Company's 2007 season. However, Melbourne punters have a chance to see the seven plays read as one unified piece at 8pm on Thursday the 4th of November at MKA Richmond 2/24 Tanner Street Richmond. The cast is: Francesca Waters, Laura Maitland, Terry Yeboah and Paul Goddard, and the director is Paige Marshall. The readings are part of Open Season, MKA Richmond's month long reading program of new Australian plays. The Seven Needs are published in the anthology Short Circuit, by Currency Press, and will be available for sale on the night. For tickets and more information go to

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).
