Students from both regional and metropolitan Victoria will have the opportunity to see a brand new piece of non-naturalism from the award-winning Real TV team, touring statewide with arts2GObetween 9 and 27 August 2010.
Friday's announcement of the 2010 VCE Drama and Theatre Studies Playlist included War Crimes within the Unit 4 Theatre Studies list, which, of course, will provide ample material for dissection as part of Outcome 3.
Set in a regional coastal town, War Crimes tells a powerful story of five disenfranchised young women who are fighting for respect, railing against authority and struggling to form an identity in a small town with limited opportunities. The relocation of an Iraqi refugee family to the town provokes a climate of hostility and tension that threatens to violently explode.
War Crimes continues Real TV’s trademark technique of using real events as pretexts for the creation of relevant and provocative contemporary Australian drama. In 2007 a series of attacks on War Memorials incited a frenzy on talk back radio and raised provocative questions about young Australians attitudes to war, to tradition, to national identity and to the notion of the sacred.
Performances direct to your school are available at $8.70 per student, with a minimum fee of $1,131. Subsidies of up to 50% are available to schools in difficult circumstances PLUS receive an Earlybird discount on 3 or more programs (including workshops) booked before December 18
