Following a wide-ranging review conducted by REÄ‚ Consulting’s Richard Evans, the peak body Playwriting Australia (PWA) today announced its intention to create a new organisation by merging with the online body Australian Plays.
Based in Hobart, Australian Plays is dedicated to the support and publication of Australian plays. Last year the organisation was advised by the Australia Council for the Arts that it had not been invited to apply for four-year organisational funding – news that Australian Plays’ chair, Paul Dwyer, described as a ‘potential catastrophe’.
