DIRECTOR’S APPROACH
INSPIRATION BOARDS
Every Director brings their own ideas and
perspectives to a play. This is a unique production as
we have a British Director working with a distinctly
Australian play. Alex has picked up on the universal
themes in the work.
→ USING PINTEREST
“I was immediately blown away by the passionate
and bold use of language, compelling relationships
and thematic content of this stunning piece.
The Cast and I have interrogated, dissected
and explored the text in every detail. We have
used physical theatre, song and improvisation to
deepen our connection to the world of the piece.
We have laughed, cried and shared experiences
together.

our cast and creatives during the development
and rehearsal process.
The cast and creatives of War Crimes used
Pinterest as a means of collating and sharing their
visual inspiration for the production.
Through this intense collaborative artistic
engagement we have attempted to creatively
conjure the world of this forgotten coastal town
on the stage and make manifest world of these
characters.”
