A decade after graduation and on the eve of his big premiere, an aspiring filmmaker reconnects with his best friend from high school. Fueled by drugs, alcohol, and nostalgia, the two reminisce about the girl they both dated and how it all went wrong, until eventually a long buried truth is finally brought to light. The night is further complicated by the sudden arrival of their mutual ex, who proves to be another formidable player in a series of dangerous mind games. Beneath this play’s suspenseful, high-stakes surface, Tape examines questions of motive, memory, truth and perception.

The Magpie’s Call October 1918
Directed by Anna Baird
2-17 October
It is four years into the Great War and in Brisbane, Australia, Daisy Harvey is frustrated. At nearly 17 she's desperate for a life with more purpose and freedom. As the wars end draws near, the tide finally begins to turn for Daisy; in her relationships with her mother, uncle, and father at the front, and in her tentative new romance with the Kiwi soldier Jack.
Set entirely within the month of October, shortly before the final November armistice, this compelling family drama visits the world of the first ANZAC's with humour and heart.
