Ronny is a Malaysian student who’s come to Australia to study law. He’s smart, driven and competitive, which would make him the perfect law student, if he actually wanted to be a lawyer. Blunt, barbed and not afraid to cut through the BS, it’s not long before he is at odds with most people on campus; not to mention his mum. Ronny finds himself caught between his old life and his new life, between the international students and the local students, and between his mum’s expectations and his own dreams, whatever the hell they may be.

The Letdown is a comedy about Audrey (Alison Bell), a struggling new mum, and the local support group she thinks she doesn’t need.

But when Marshall befriends Gavin’s girlfriend Trish (Emily Rose Brennan) instead, Gavin resolves to break the union and claim Marshall for himself.

Eddie Perfect navigates modern life as husband and father, never certain whether the absurdity surrounding him is really happening or if it’s all some kind of surreal middle-class suburban plot against him.

Cast out onto the street, with both her life and her mental resolve disintegrating like old jocks, Anna stumbles upon an Open for Inspection at a nearby townhouse. And it’s here, surrounded by empty cupboards and hire furniture, that the unhinged Anna O’Brien seeks to reinvent herself, and her luck.
