Launching the Queensland Theatre Company’s 2014 season at QPAC yesterday, Artistic Director Wesley Enoch highlighted the company’s focus on Australian stories in the year ahead.

‘There is a very real focus on Australian work in 2014 with 75% of the season Australian plays, and for good reason – Australian stories and storytellers are amongst the very best in the world.
