Beyond The Neck

Four strangers, one extraordinary moment: a Tasmanian story.

Profoundly affected by the events at Port Arthur in 1996, Tom Holloway was moved to write this play. Based on in-depth interviews, the story is set ten years later and explores the power of community and recovery.

An accomplished piece of theatre that will get you talking, feeling and thinking about some difficult issues.

Australian Stage, 2007

A remarkable play and Tom is an authentic, original and exciting new playwright.”

Leo Butler, Royal Court Theatre, london 2007
