Not in Print: playwrights off script - on inspiration, process and theatre itself

Ever wondered what happens before the curtain rises or the script is even finalised? Not in Print: playwrights off script-on inspiration, process and theatre itself pulls back that curtain. Hosted by Caitlin from Currency Press, Australia's performing arts publisher, this series moves beyond the finished product to explore the raw, formative stages of theatrical creation. Each conversation is a journey into the minds of the country's most respected playwrights and theatre-makers, where the focus isn't on polished answers but on the compelling questions that fuel their art. You'll hear firsthand accounts of where ideas truly originate, the messy and magical evolution of a narrative, and the intricate craft of building characters that live and breathe. Discussions delve into the often unseen work of dramaturgy, trade secrets honed over years in the industry, and frank reflections on the state of theatre itself. This podcast offers a rare, unscripted look at the passion and pragmatism behind Australian stages, serving as an essential resource for anyone fascinated by the art of storytelling. It’s where the conversation continues long after the programme notes are put away.
