The Challenge: To create a original piece of devised theatre… in a week.
About the Project
Stage Devision was a unique theatre and media based project looking to create engaging theatrical performances.
The Challenge: To create an original piece of devised theatre in a week.
At the beginning of the project, actors were placed into teams. Each team was given one week to create a ten minute devised theatre piece (short play or performance based on a theme). Each team was mentored by experienced directors and theatre-makers, and given full access to sound, lighting, props and costumes. The project culminated with performances at Belconnen Community Theatre.

To Stay in Silence premiered as part of Stage Devision (2018). New from playwright Rachel Pengilly comes a short, thought-provoking unfolding of events.

In a last attempt at resolution, Maashous returns to the tree where April died.
