Wise Words Media is pleased to announce another 'Fistful of Scripts'.
A Fistful of Scripts brings life to the written word for both theatre and screen by a gathering of Melbourne's most talented and driven writers, actors and directors. The artists will once again join creative forces for an afternoon of script-readings at Theatre Works, Acland St, St Kilda on Sunday 3rd April 2011 at 7pm.
“The process is about getting vital script feedback while having an audience that hears the words and sees the action,” says Sean McIntyre of Wise Words Media.
“Script readings give actors a stage, writers direct feedback and directors a chance to exercise creative muscle”, says Sean McIntyre. “For everyone else it’s a window into the creative process - it's like being witness to people giving collective birth to a piece of work through collaborative effort.”
After each reading, a short forum will allow the audience to participate by giving feedback directly to performers, writers and director. 'A Fistful of Scripts' is also a great way for creative types to network and stay 'match fit' in between paid gigs.
In bringing all these elements together, the prime objective is that the event must be on a 100% non-profit basis while meeting all expenses and outlays. Making this possible is generous assistance from Theatre Works.
“Theatre Works has been very supportive of the concept,” said Sean McIntyre. “Our event in 2010 was very well received, so this time we are opening it up to the general public.”
‘where YOU were’ | short film, 32 minutes
A ghost story about the memories that haunt us. And the meaning we try to attach to them.
THOMAS finds himself alone in a pub haunted by the memory of INGRID.
In trying to come to terms with the news he has just received, he contemplates an imaginary encounter with INGRID, projecting much of his anger and grief into a conversation that will never take place.
‘The Contract’ | short play, 10 minutes
STM Asia Pacific Constructions is pinning its future to its biggest ever project: 'Eastern Metropol Train Station'.
The worst storm in 100 years wreaks havoc upon the city’s new landmark, causing $60 000 in damages and clean-up costs per week.
Friendships fracture. Fingers point. Accusations fly. Alliances shift. Spin and counter-spin. It's every man, woman and back-stabbing bastard for themselves.
‘This Is All’ | short play, 15 minutes
An ego and an ID walk into a bar...
A conversation about the meaning of life ensues when a writer introduces his written words to a new page.

ABOUT ‘A Fistful of Scripts’
We write ‘em. They read ‘em. You hear ‘em.
Writers rode into town with a fistful of scripts and went lookin’ for actors and directors. When they got together all hell broke loose. Now they’ve formed a posse. When they find The Audience... anything could happen.
Starring Writers that write ‘em, Actors that read ‘em and Directors that direct ‘em. Special guest appearance by The Audience that hears ‘em.
A 100% non-profit production, 'A Fistful of Scripts' acknowledges the kind assistance of:
• Theatre Works
• School of Creative Design, Victoria University
The driving philosophy and rationale behind 'A Fistful of Scripts’ is to take the work out to the audience. We write 'em. They read 'em. You hear 'em.
