Not in Print Podcast
We’ve gone off script—beyond the page and behind the stage—to speak with respected Australian playwrights about the depth and breadth of a single work. That’s 1 play in 30 minutes with insights straight from the source. Not in Print also offers readings of forewords and introductions from the scripts we discuss, allowing those insights, ideas and critiques
to leap off the page and travel with you beyond the fourth wall. Teachers and students will find this to be an informative (and fun) critical study resource, actors and directors will gain insight for performance, writers will uncover tools and inspiration, while audiences and readers will encounter stories and ideas beyond the page or theatre space. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Amazon Music.
