Join us for engaging panels featuring artists, directors and scholars who will explore and discuss season themes, issues, societal relevance and their own creative processes.
Essential Workers: Unseen Labour on Stage
Working-class people have been portrayed on stage in various ways over the centuries, from the comic relief of Midsummer’s mechanicals to the tragedy of Willy Loman, while Saturday, Sunday, Monday puts household labour front and centre and The Tao of the World features a large group of mostly silent individuals attending to the whims of the wealthy main characters. Join our panel of labour experts and artists for a discussion of labour on-stage and off, and how fictional characters reflect societal values around labour.
