Dear Australia in conversation (Premiere)
Digital Season | Streamed live from the Joan Sutherland Theatre
On Demand
Genre: Talks & Ideas
Reflections from Nakkiah Lui, Aanisa Vylet and Donna Abela
Dear Australia commissioned 50 playwrights to write stories as postcards to the nation, their work interpreted by some of Australia’s leading actors. The evening before the final set of performances, three writers unpack some of the telling themes of these microplays, including their own, and comment on their context in a COVID world.
Moderated by Nakkiah Lui, and featuring Aanisa Vylet and Donna Abela, this live conversation is the perfect accompaniment to the comfort and confrontation of Dear Australia and an exclusive to Sydney Opera House’s Digital Season.
Join us for a deep dive into how some of Australia’s most diverse and impressive voices have asked what’s happening, what’s being revealed about us, and imagined our future in monologue form.
