Working on the established principle of strength in numbers, three Brisbane theatre directors – Heather Fairbairn, Heidi Manché and Kate Wild – have joined forces to help address the impact of COVID-19 on Queensland’s arts landscape.
Operating under the name The Hive Collective, the trio are each experienced theatre artists. Their inaugural season – three works by contemporary Australian female playwrights – takes place at Metro Arts from 17 February – 27 March. Each play will be directed by one of The Hive Collective’s co-Artistic Directors and designed by a predominantly female creative team.
