Collectives don’t always exist harmoniously, let alone for 20 years. 7-ON A Collection, out through Currency Press, celebrates the 20th anniversary of playwrights’ collective 7-ON with seven newly published plays.
The seven members of 7-ON – Donna Abela, Vanessa Bates, Hilary Bell, Noëlle Janaczewska, Verity Laughton, Ned Manning and Catherine Zimdahl – have had over 200 plays produced in Australia and around the world between them, since the collective was established in 2005. Collectively, they have also accumulated more than 40 writing awards over that time.
