Two award winning plays will be presented by Bathurst Arts and Theatrical Society (BATS) at Charles Sturt University (CSU) from Thursday 17 to Saturday 19 July. The plays, The Eisteddfod and Plaza Suite, are directed and performed by CSU students from the School of Communication and Creative Industries in Bathurst. The Eisteddfod directed by Ms Brooke Murray, is a comic suburban tragedy about family, loss and letting go, which won the Excellence in Direction and Producers' Choice awards at the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival. Plaza Suite directed by Ms Eve Beck, follows the journey of three couples who occupy suite 719 in the Plaza Suite Hotel at different times of the same day. It was adapted into a film in 1971. Ms Beck, said, "Directing is a challenge, but it's one that fuels curiosity, interest and creativity. There is nothing quite like having a clear vision of a show that you wish could become a reality, to then see it unfold and form in front of you." BATS productions of The Eisteddfod, and Plaza Suite are at The Ponton Theatre (building 1434; formerly N3) Charles Sturt University in Bathurst at 7pm on Thursday 17 and Friday 18 July with a matinee at 2pm Saturday 19 July. Tickets are to be booked from Ben Musgrave by calling 0423 900 086; limited tickets will be available at the performances.
