Yes, the Australia Council continues to be in an impossible position, continually on the back foot trying to cope with the continual crisis. Interesting times! I hope we can rescue something good from this, but it is going to be so difficult. On the other hand, there is now very little to lose.

All the themes Monique mentions are in the play, and how each of us responds or picks up on them depends on each of our experiences. Perhaps this is a perspective we’re not used to seeing in our criticism.

Why would Monique’s experience be more “preconceived” than yours? Like everyone else, she watched the show and this was her response.
