Funny, disturbing and bitter sweet
The Call is an enthralling drama about a young man looking to escape a suburban life.
“I thought that when I grew up everything would be a lot clearer, that it would make sense…”
Gary stares into the eyes of a chook. After laying twenty thousand eggs and spending an entire life inside a tiny cage, she’s facing the chop.
Gary has had a confined life too—most of it spent looking for girls, stealing cars and wagging school. Now it’s become a succession of dull, dirty and dangerous jobs.
But Gary yearns for something that can make sense of life for him—give it meaning. He hears the call. One that roars inside him. A call of the wild, a call to arms, a call to prayer, a call of adventure…

The humour, drama, struggles and pitfalls of raising a family
“Few sounds provoke a visceral reaction quite like the cry of a baby”
-Professor Kringelbach, Neuroscientist, Oxford University
As parents, though we might move heaven and earth in order to spare our children the slightest sorrow, it can be argued that it is as much our role to allow them to learn how to cry as it is to protect them from the very troubles that provoke their tears. The impossible balancing act of parenthood. In the midst of the intimate darkness of the marital bed, Libby and Oscar play out the odyssey that is the raising of Millie, through a series of deft scenes spanning a quarter of a century, with all the angst, humour, pettiness and sheer profundity that is marriage and the raising of a child.
