Staging the Nation

Staging the Nation, conversations with Australian playwrights. As we stand in a complicated present, and face a hopeful future, we're looking back through the contemporary Australian canon shining a light on some of the writers that have grappled with the big questions of who we are as a nation and the complexity of representation. STAGING THE NATION is a special initiative from RIVERSIDE'S NATIONAL THEATRE OF PARRAMATTA, supported by the Australia Council’s Resilience grant, City of Parramatta, Create NSW and Riverside Theatres.
