Andrew Bovell has worked as a playwright and screenwriter for more than thirty years. In Platform Paper 52, he draws on this broad experience to discuss the place and role of the writer in the Australian theatre, film, and television industries, and examines how that place may have changed in each.
He examines some of the philosophical, political, and practical ideas that inform his work, and makes a case for the centrality of the writer in the creative process, whilst discussing the crucial relationship he has with the other key creatives in the development of a new work.
