Jack Charles vs The Crown - GFX - retouching/compositing
This play is an excellent example of Contemporary Australian Theatre Practice and combines some of that with Verbatim Theatre. The use of technologies such as video and musicians on stage adds a new dimension to the modern theatre landscape. The fact that Charles talks directly to us, the audience for the entire piece is something unique about the way theatre is changing and progressing. It's direct and in your face without being pushy or preachy. At no more than 90 minutes in length, these new types of plays are engaging with our shorter attention spans and getting straight to the point without missing out on capturing themes and issues relevant to Australians and the wider theatre going audience.
