HEARTH - by Fleur Murphy
*Pre-order the script* Available from February 2022.
It’s the 7th of February 2009 – forever known in Australia’s history as ‘Black Saturday.’ It’s also Tom Robinson’s 18th Birthday. Celebrations kick off at the Robinson’s Kinglake home and nothing seems out of the ordinary. But tensions start to rise between Tom and his older brother Matthew, along with the temperature outside, and before the ice-cream cake has time to melt a deeply held family secret is revealed.
A compelling new Australian drama about family and belonging, forged in the exploration of an environmental threat Australians know all too well - an approaching bushfire.

- Raimondo Cortese

My Country for a Peach - by Fleur Murphy
The nostalgia of a more fruitful time haunts the mind of a lone peach farmer as he nears the end of his battle against big industry takeovers.
My Country for a Peach is inspired by the stories and situations that fruit farmers were facing when preserving companies such as SPC Ardmona stopped sourcing their supply locally. On the verge of losing everything, many farmers in the Shepparton area were left with no other choice but to rip out and burn their trees.

Length: 5 mins

Length: 2-3 mins
Notes:
First few lines...
BARB: Do you know that you can’t move the eggs?
VOICE: Sorry?
BARB: If you do then the mother will abandon them. So, I’m conflicted because she’s shitting all over the deck. Excuse my French -
VOICE: It’s fine.
BARB: I get the pressure hose out each morning. At first she was afraid of the noise. It’s loud. Loud. She’d fly off and then I’d feel so worried the eggs would get cold while she was gone. They need to stay warm.
VOICE: Oh, this is the bird you were telling me about -
BARB: Pigeon -
VOICE: Yes, ok. Right.
BARB: Now she doesn’t even flinch. She just sits there. She’s bunkered down - nesting - in my hanging pot. She never flies off. There hasn’t been any poop there for the last four days. She’s not even pooping. She just sits on those damn eggs.

TOM: He’s yelling from the other side of the channel.
Fuckin’, yeah - when Danny Miller yells you gotta listen.
“Don’t let e’m through! Pull it tighter ya cunt!”
I take the corner.
Hold it.
Pull as hard as I can.
It’s taught across the top - a straight line.
Nothin’s getting out and nothin’s getting in.
Water flows through and I can see their slimy, shiny bodies flapping and kicking.
Crammed.
Like sardines in a tin...

First few lines...
MATTHEW: I’m around 3, maybe?
Here in this... the backyard.
There’s a small pine, about yay high.
We stand, eye to eye.
A tiny Radiata, not native but one day naturalised.
Dad takes his sunglasses off and sticks them in the branches.
“Hello Matthew,” he says. One of his classic, funny voices...
“Give me a hug. I’ll try not to prickle - just tickle.”
Ribs in stitches, I laugh until snot comes out my nose.
