Theatre for all
It was free in ancient Athens and it’s FREE in Sydney.
After 2500 years, a world first – you, the audience, voting for the winner in a play competition. No panel, no artistic director, just three finalists, three brilliant new Australian first acts, and you, casting your vote. The winning playwright receives $15,000 to help finish their play!
Theatre reflects our Australian identity.
Come and shape it yourself.
