The Critic synopsis
Karl 'The Axe' Anderton is the most powerful and scathing theatre critic in Sydney. The actors, directors and writers of the city walk lightly in his shadow all fearing a 'Grand Slam' from 'The Axe' - which could sound the death knell on their career. Producers and publicists fawn over him, hoping to flatter him in to a good review. But when Anderton delivers a second 'Grand Slam' to a young playwright, Alan Fisher, which results in the cancellation of his comeback play, Fisher believes the time has come to take matters into his own hands. Anderton has a secret... and when Alan discovers it, 'The Axe' will receive a 'Grand Slam' of his own!
The Critic is more than 'the writer's revenge' - it's a provocative, funny and at times shocking exposé of theatre, theatre criticism and the media. At its heart is a deadly power play between two men, one with everything, and the other, nothing to lose.
No More Mr. Nice Guy synopsis
Three girls. One guy. Big trouble.
The Critic characters
KARL ‘THE AXE’ ANDERTON
A theatre critic. 50s. Affluent and educated. Hiding a dark secret.
ALAN FISHER
A playwright. 30s. Charismatic, struggling artist. Out for a vengeance.
No More Mr. Nice Guy characters
PHIL (lead)
Average Joe. Can be almost any age and body type. Not too good looking either. Essential for actor to exude ‘like-ability’.
NATALIE (lead)
Doesn’t have to be good looking, but actress must be able to exude sex appeal and power. Age close to Phil.
SWEETY (supporting)
Super sexy, able to seduce a man from 100 metres away.
CORALIE (supporting)
The opposite of Sweety in looks, but actress needs to be able to turn on the charm and intimidation when needed.
