Merrigong Productions
Since Merrigong's first full-scale production in 2006 (Van Badham's Camarilla), we have produced a major work every year. In 2008, Merrigong produced Thieves Like Us, a world premiere from Australian playwright Marcel Dorney, and remounted our 2007 production of Athol Fugard's Valley Song for a NSW tour.
In 2009, Merrigong produced 4 Plays about Wollongong, an evening of theatre consisting of four short plays commissioned by the Company. We also brought Kahlil Ashanti's US hit-comedy Basic Training to Australia for a very successful 14-venue tour.
In 2010 Merrigong and Richard Jordan Productions Ltd bring Rick Miller over for a brief Australian tour of Brisbane, Sydney, Bathurst and Wollongong with his internationally acclaimed comedy MacHomer. And later in the year, we will produce Caleb Lewis' Death In Bowengabbie, a beautifully written script which won the Judge's Commendation for Best Writing at the 2009 Adelaide Fringe Festival.
