Writing through a pandemic, Angela Betzien couldn't bear the thought of creating something bleak. She discusses writing her first stage comedy, the very topical Chalkface.
Hoy, whose adaptation of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall opens next month, has been appointed as the new Fellow, while Kamarra Bell-Wykes has received the Patrick White Playwrights Award.
Act 2 features Richard Roxburgh as Prospero in The Tempest, Meyne Wyatt’s City of Gold, and the premiere of five new plays by Australian playwrights.
