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.

This year’s finalists have been chosen and they are:

Jane

Tell Me You
Love Me

Jane Bodie

Julian

Leviathan

Julian Larnach

Katy

Katy Warner
