TRUST?
Sex, Lies and Photographs

By Philip Chappell.
Directed by Philip Chappell.
Starring Philip Chappell and Karin Mayer.

Trust is the bottom line.
Believe that and everything else falls into place.
Trust is accepting our part in the scheme of things; underpinning and supporting fickle emotions; always dominant and persuasive; demanding to be heard. Yet we have control, because we stand on Trust, keeping the balance preserved.
We build our world on moving sands. 'Trust' is malleable, goes with the flow, invaluable, solid and strong, more than love, our very foundation.
"So where's the drama" I here you cry.
Well thatÂ’s the point; there isn't any, no drama at all...that is...
until we blow the trust away. Robert and Millie will attest to that...

In this, Philip Chappell’s second play, he continues to explore the depths of his characters. And they are never conventional, never quite as you first see them, never as you might want them to be…but always interesting, always leaving more questions than answers. And after the success of last year’s “Miraculous Recovery” who would want to miss another chapter in this exploration of life.

How much do you trust someone you know? Or someone you thought you knew?

AUTHOR
Philip Chappell was born in the UK but has lived on the Sunshine Coast since 1990. His first acting job was the National Touring Company production of “Oliver” and the next decade he was in constant demand in various forms of English theatre and television drama.
In Australia he was co-founder of what is now The Independent Theatre of Eumundi and resident director and Artistic Director for eight years.
His performance in his own work, “Miraculous Recovery” last year for theatre ‘s’, brought Philip yet more awards for acting and directing at both the Sunshine Coast TheatreFest and the Annual STAR Awards. It was also seen by David Williamson, which led to his casting in “Flatfoot” alongside Drew Forsyth and Kelly Butler for the Noosa Longweekend this year.

CAST
Karin graduated from QUT in 2000 with a BA in Theatre Studies.
Acting work has included: two short films - Rain (1998, QCA) and Do You Love Me (1998, QCA); performance art - The Neptune Washing Machine (1997, Matt Dabrowski); and several productions - A Dream Play (1998, QUT), I Stand Before You Naked (1999, Vena Cava Co.), The Silver Circle Project (1999, QUT), Broken Down (Newboards Festival 2000, La Boite), and Charitable Intent (2002, Noosa Longweekend).
Karin has studied photography at QCA (Griffin Uni) and has exhibited her work under the titles: Ways of Seeing (1995, McWhirters Arts Space); and End Of Clearance (1996, IMA Fortitude Valley). Her photographs have also appeared in Rolling Stone Magazine, Next Music Magazine, and Street Press, and have been used for CD artwork and PR for Powderfinger, Soma Rasa, Dog Machine, Nick Earls and Webster.
From 1999 to 2001 Karin worked as the senior researcher and photo documenter in the development of A Paper House (2001, La Boite with Sean Mee), a theatrical piece that gave voice to the real experience of refugees arriving in Australia from the beginning of the last century to the present day.
The acting school Ecole Jaques Lecoq has accepted Karin for further study.
