“This is an hilarious play. It draws out two contradictory aspects of Australian culture. It shows the traditional, genuine Australian instinct for hospitality and concern for those in need; and sets that against the current hysteria about refugees and, in particular, Muslim refugees.And it captures the Australian capacity for hiding (and hiding from) our worst impulses and our worst conduct.” ~ Julian Burnside AO QC
A hard working farming couple, their egotistical daughter, and disregarded son, are taking in a Syrian refugee… At least they’re trying to. First they must impress the hard nosed representative from the Refugee Council of Australia. This will involve wearing pants, demonstrating a sensitive cultural awareness, keeping unwanted boyfriends, girlfriends, and neighbours at bay, and ensuring everyone stays alive.
“The morbid and farcical elements in this play fit the exact requirements for a black, and in many ways, disturbing comedy. Worm Farming is dead on the money.” ~ “Worm Farming is very good at delivering what it promises – black comedy.” ~ Terry Brady
Written by Australian of the Year finalist and ex Canberran (Daniel Widdowson), Worm Farming will only be performing six shows in 2017. Two in Canberra, one in Sydney, two on the Central Coast, and one in Newcastle.. It is the intention of Salt House Theatre Company to take the show on a National tour in 2018.
Salt House Theatre Company was established in February of 2016. It has successfully produced three major productions in that time, including a new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. This was attended by the last Austen descendant to grow up in the family home, Caroline Jane Knight. The adaptation was published late 2016

Set in a mythical Broadway, New York City in around 1950. Guys & Dolls is a romantic comedy with 4 delightful leads (and other smaller roles).
Gambler, Nathan Detroit (Anthony Swaddling), runs the “Oldest established Crap Game in New York” but is short of the necessary dough to find a secure place away from the eye of the local cops. His adorable fiancé, nightclub performer,
Miss Adelaide, (Tina Robinson) has cold-like symptoms that get worse the longer their engagement goes on – 14 years and counting! Nathan bets classy gambler
Sky Masterson, (Steve Galinec) that he cannot take missionary
Sarah Brown (Kitty McGarry) to Havana, Cuba.From Broadway to Havana and back to the sewers of New York City with people of the city, missionaries, night club performers and many many gangsters, everyone ends up right where they belong.
