AUGUST by Matthew William Robinson
As the sun set everything changed.

AUGUST is inspired by sunsets – a space between restraint and recklessness. AUGUST is about endings and saying goodbye. About the changes that fling us together and tear us apart.

Bathed in the fading colours of dusk and the neon accents of night, AUGUST navigates a sensual landscape shifting between the perilous and the beautiful.

Frontiers

Humanity, empathy, justice, and redemption.
There are few things to look forward to when transported to barren Australia, as a convicted felon. Amidst brutality and the squalid conditions of a newly founded penal colony, stories of empathy and redemption emerge.

Sherman Players bring intensity and heart to Our Country’s Good, the classic play by Timberlake Wertenbaker. The committed and talented non-professional Sherman Players bring to life intriguing, tormented characters, skilfully depicting the emotional connections made between officers and convicts among upheaval and uncertainty in 1780’s colonial Australia.
