War of the Worlds
Or that time three regional theatre companies tried to do an end of term showing during an alien invasion
by Fleur Kilpatrick
War of the Worlds is a ground breaking collaboration between three regional theatre companies
Young ensembles from Arena Theatre Company in Bendigo, Riverland Youth Theatre in Whyalla, and D’Faces Youth Arts in Renmark will simultaneously perform a new version of War of the Worlds to a local audience. Playwright Fleur Kilpatrick will create a tailored scripts for each town, combining local and streamed scenes to bring this unique production to life.
Scenes from each town's performance will be live-streamed to the surviving young people in each town, as they share information and work together to survive the alien invasion.
