Not in Print: playwrights off script - on inspiration, process and theatre itself
Summary: We believe in theatre that raises more questions than answers. So Currency Press staffer, Toby Leon, is travelling beyond the page and stage, talking to playwrights about their work. Each episode concentrates on a single play script in conversation with the playwright who created it. These respected voices of Australian theatre share their inspiration, creative process, ideas on narrative, building character, dramaturgy, trade secrets and much more. Think of them as playwriting masterclasses that can travel with you on the bus, through jostling crowds and beyond the fourth wall.

An adaptation of Timothy Conigrave's landmark book that faithfully captures the fifteen-year relationship between Conigrave and the love of his life, John Caleo. Speaking across generations, sexualities and cultures, this is a heart-wrenchingly honest portrayal of what it means to grow up, how we form relationships, and why we need to love and be loved. -- Tommy Murphy is one of Australia’s most beloved playwrights. His original stories, and his adaptations, have been warmly received - both critically and commercially. The adaptation of Timothy Conigrave’s best selling book, Holding the Man, is one of Tommy’s standouts. It won several awards and was presented by some of the country’s biggest theatre companies, playing to packed houses in most Australian capital cities, and travelling overseas to New Zealand, the US and London's West End.
