Over the last two weeks, ArtsHub published the results of an extensive poll of theatre professionals, revealing the best Australian plays of the 21st century so far. The results provoke deep conversations around perennial questions of Australian culture and hold essential lessons for the performing arts industry.
While the poll results are diverse in theme and genre, there are surprising similarities in how they were nurtured and produced. The poll results suggest vital factors that ensure an environment for developing a ‘great Australian play’.
