100 playwrights and actors join forces in new theatre project challenging Australian identity

Stage | The Guardian: Richard Frankland, Nakkiah Lui and Suzie Miller are among 50 Australian playwrights joining forces with 50 actors including Miranda Tapsell, Jack Thompson and Tasma Walton to challenge Australia’s sense of identity post-coronavirus in a new series of plays.

Modelled on a project run out of Ireland’s Abbey Theatre, Australia’s national playwriting organisation Playwriting Australia has commissioned the writers to produce, for specific performers, a series of original monologues that “get to the heart of where our nation is and where it might go”.
