Legendary writer, warrior, poet and cynic, Ambrose Bierce, in the last days of 1913, rode off to Mexico to join forces with the last remaining maverick rebel he respected, Pancho Villa. He never returned. This original play imagines "Bitter Bierce's" final night on Earth, holed up in a Mexican brothel, awaiting his own demise at the hands of a federalé lynching party he assumes is due. His minister cousin arrives instead, with one of Bierce's old journalistic rivals in tow, to convince him to return with them across the border. Bierce refuses to be "rescued," prefering a defiant fate in a foreign land to an lingering old age at home. The result is a feiry confrontation between a determined man of the Cloth and the author of The Devil's Dictionary - alive with actual Bierce quotes and passages from his writings. Which of the Bierces will relent before death comes knocking? Not long after its premiere in 2001, AMBROSE BIERCE, THE LAST STAND OF (originally titled simply "Ambrose Bierce") was accepted into the Official Bierce Bibliography by the Ambrose Bierce Appreciation Society.

When South Australia was founded in 1836, the British government was pursuing a new approach to the treatment of Aboriginal people, hoping to avoid the violence that marked earlier Australian settlement. The colony's founding Proclamation declared that as British subjects, Aboriginal people would be as much 'under the safeguard of the law as the Colonists themselves, and equally entitled to the privileges of British subjects'. But could colonial governments provide the protection that was promised?Out of the Silence explores the nature and extent of violence on South Australia's frontiers in light of the foundational promise to provide Aboriginal people with the protection of the law, and the resonances of that history in social memory. What do we find when we compare the history of the frontier with the patterns of how it is remembered and forgotten? And what might this reveal about our understanding of the nation's history and its legacies in the present?
