Iolanthe plays Influencer Nia, who wants to find her match and win the primetime reality dating hit, Match or Snatch. Matilda plays Jess, a junior producer on the show. She wants to orchestrate Nia’s every move to secure a win for both of them. But who is controlling who? And what will the win cost both women? The Edit punches in on the underbelly of our guiltiest pleasure, reality television. Merging her own personal experience as a teen on reality television and her extensive interviews with reality stars from the hit podcast series “Back from Reality”, writer Gabrielle Scawthorn asks the question can we ever truly give consent, if we don’t know what we are consenting to.

Nadine Garner and Fayssal Bazzi are two such masochists. They are about to take on Iranian writer and theatre maker Nassim Soleimanpour's new play: ECHO: Every Cold-Hearted Oxygen. Each night a new performer takes to the stage not knowing what is going to be asked of them. Unrehearsed and deliberately unprepared, the script becomes their only guide as they journey through the story of the playwright, connected live from his home in Berlin. ECHO is an invitation to consider what home means to each of us. Fusing new technology with the oldest tricks in the book, this is an ambitious, magical and profound production where no one travels yet everybody is present.

The two previous times they’ve been on this show, Nicola’s pieces of trivia were both about Andrew Lloyd Webber - and there was even a question related to Lloyd Webber in last year’s episode - at the time, the depth of their knowledge about the man was somewhat surprising. But now we understand why, since they were writing their show One Man Musical which is about Andrew Lloyd Webber. They've just been performing the show for the last month, garnering a nomination for Most Outstanding Show at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival awards, which will be announced after this episode is uploaded.

Written by Craig Silvey, based on his book of the same name and directed by John Sheedy, Runt tells the story of Annie Shearer and her best friend, a stray dog called Runt. When her family's farm comes under threat from drought and a local landowner, Annie concocts a plan to save it: by putting Runt’s herding talents to good use in the Agility Course Grand Championships at the Krumpets Dog Show in London.

Starring Jai Courtney, Celeste Barber, Deborah Mailman, Jack Thompson and Tom Budge, and introducing the wonderful Lily LaTorre as Annie.

But that is exactly what has happened for actor and playwright Emmanuel Mattana and director Marni Mount.

Trophy Boys is a queer black comedy and drag extravaganza about power, privilege, and high school debating.

Performed by a female and non-binary cast in drag as the four members of the debating team from an elite private boys school as they prepare for their grand final debate against their sister school and forced to argue in the affirmative that "feminism has failed women".

Trophy Boys takes a satirical look at insecure adolescent masculinity, entitlement and the ego of Australia's next generation of politicians and powerbrokers.

The Canberra Theatre Centre has curated an electrifying performance series under the banner of “Valence”. Shows that will ignite the senses and challenge perceptions, made by artists exploring the now, pushing the boundaries of convention, and which invite viewers to confront uncomfortable truths and embrace the possibilities of transformation.

The guests on this episode are one of the performers, Rebecca Massey and the director, Sheridan Harbridge of the first show in the Valence series “44 Sex Acts in One Week.”

As one reviewer wrote of the show: “Brilliantly funny dialogue, sex positive, egalitarian, patriarchy-smashing, late-stage capitalism obliterating, empathic, relatable, and profound.”

However Tristan Black and Anthony Taufa are currently starring in “Alone It Stands” at The Ensemble Theatre.

Written by the Irish playwright John Breen, it tells the story of the 1978 Rugby Union match between a tiny team of amateurs from the Munster Rugby club in Limerick up against the all-conquering New Zealand national side the All Blacks. The hilarious, moving and heart-warming play has a cast of six, who take on all 62 roles including players, wives, fans, both coaches and even the team dog.
