From the creators of THE LIBRARIANS comes the story of Don Angel (Wayne Hope) is a small businessman- the
backbone of this great country’s economy. But if that’s true, it’s no thanks to him. After numerous unsuccessful ventures, Don’s Worldwide Business Group is now hurtling towards liquidation.
His debts are mounting his stomach’s killing him, his wife left him, and he’s just hired Ray Leonard (Kym Gyngell) as his sole employee.
VERY SMALL BUSINESS is about the unlikely relationship between two men who form an alliance. Don Angel, is
brassy, streetwise and charismatic. He’s full of big ideas but something always gets in the way of him making any of his small businesses big. Don could sell ice to the Eskimos, but the ice would have melted on arrival. Ray Leonard is a considered, intelligent and sophisticated former journalist who has spent the last six years a broken man since he

YOUR SHOUT: THE HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN BEER - Two-part Special
LOCAL PRODUCTION
Wednesday September 21 and 28 at 7.30pm
Australian Exclusive Premiere
Is there anything closer to the heart of Australians than beer? In the past 200 years the ritual of men sharing a beer has defined the Australian character more than any other. It’s brought men together in pubs and sporting grounds, lubricating our friendships, quenching our thirst and rewarding our labours at day’s end.
Beer has played a central role in our history as far back as Captain James Cook’s first charting of the East Coast of Australia in 1770, where Cook brewed beer to sterilize the ship’s fetid drinking water.
Today Australian beer is loved and enjoyed around the world, and two great corporations dominate local industry with sales of $8 billion a year.
Your Shout is the definitive history of beer in Australia, an untold story that both delights and surprises. It traces the
development of the most familiar brands including Fosters, XXXX, Coopers, VB, West End and Swan and examines
how regional variations in beer developed around the nation. Your Shout is the history documentary all Australia has
been waiting to see.
