Saving Rhett Butler comes from a published short story entitled “The Killing of Rhett Butler”.
Strangely enough, both titles fit, but it depends on your point of view, and how you interpret both the story – and the ending.
We have some fine new actors joining the fastfiction team, and look forward to hearing more from them soon. Enjoy!

Homestay was written quite a few years ago, but sadly the underlying messages are still valid in today’s world. And yes, there is more than one. So this little story may well – MakeYouThink.
Homestay is a popular way for overseas students to learn the English language and assimilate into local customs in Australia. Like most things dealing with mixed cultures, it has its highs and lows. This story has both.

Whatever happened to Joe Godot? is a new version of an old idea. It’s too tempting to ignore a playwright who admits he has no idea what his own play was about. And this was the case of Samuel Becket’s confirmed 1949 masterpiece, Waiting for Godot. So, once again, we’ve come up with an idea of our own.

Wheeled Prison: Australia’s tribute to ServiceMen occurs on Sunday, 25th April. Four years ago FastFiction released its first episode entitled Wheeled Prison and introduced the series Makes YouThink. It recognized not only the heroes, or those that fell, but all those who return from war, forever affected by the experience.
We cannot say “Enjoy”, but instead ask that you “Think.”
Thankyou

It’s a dark and stormy night. Anything can happen. And it did!
While this delightful play by Patti Cassidy profiles a fastfiction regular, by way of David Pollard, we are delighted to add two new players to our troupe. Hem Cleveland lives in Iceland, while Geordie Macdonald* may be found in the Tropics of Queensland. Yet both come together to spar banter in The Bard’s Night Out.
And who is The Bard? Well, it’s Will himself, although you will never think of him in quite the same way again once you hear Geordie’s performance.

Mindfulness: Every now and again a podcast comes along that is difficult to describe. And Mindfulness is just that: an enigma. So rather than read about it, we suggest you listen. And we can promise you won’t be disappointed.
This little gem was originally presented by Hand To Mouth Theatre. It was written by the talented Herefore U.K.-based writer and theater maker, Tasmin Lynne Margaret Pinder, and performed by the equally talented Jennifer Nettles. It only lasts for 7 minutes, so put your feet up, click on the link and close your eyes and, let the podcast take you …….. ?

The neighbors are getting in twitchy in 1101 Wellington Way. They don’t like each other. Why not? Well, there appear to be some different points of view.
FastFiction is delighted to introduce you to some talented members of The Writers Block Radio Hour as they explore Vivian Lermond’s intriguing audio drama. You can find out more about her on our Accreditation and Performers Page, but suffice to say she is an award-winning scriptwriter – and you can see why when you tune in to 1101 Wellington Way.
However. it helps enormously when you have a talented cast and Glen Dizon, Karen Frazer and Titch Macleay certainly fit that bill.

Godot. One word – and even for those of us without a literary background, we know it has reference to Waiting for Godot, Samuel Becket’s masterpiece play of the 20th century. But is it really a masterpiece, or simply an example of theatre of the absurd? Even Becket did not seem to know. Indeed there are as many reviews, critiques, and versions, as there are words in the play. And here is one more.
Godot is another collaborative piece, centered around Patti Cassidy’s fandom pastiche, Godot 2. Details below/
