  • Florian Zeller Christopher Hampton
    THE TRUTH BY Florian Zeller TRANSLATED BY Christopher Hampton DIRECTED BY Sarah Giles Melbourne Theatre Company acknowledges the Yalukit Willam Peoples of the Boon Wurrung, the First Peoples of Country on which Southbank Theatre and MTC HQ stand. We pay our respects to all of Melbourne’s First Peoples, to their ancestors and Elders, and to our shared future. WELCOME Florian Zeller is a name familiar to MTC audiences after our 2017 co-production of his play, The Father. Since then his star has been continuously on the rise and saw the film adaption of that play take home this year’s Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor. Another of his plays is currently receiving a film adaptation as well. Zeller is a towering talent and The Truth reinforces his deft skill of drawing audiences into layered stories which are never as straightforward as they appear. We are thrilled to be producing this play in its English translation by Zeller’s long-time collaborator and co-Academy Award-winner, Christopher Hampton. In The Truth, comedy shines through the underlying bed of deception and marital manipulations, and with a cast featuring the comic pedigree of Michala Banas, Stephen Curry, Bert LaBonté and Katrina Milosevic you really are set for an enjoyable night at the theatre. Directed by Sarah Giles, this production is the fourth Australian premiere in our 2021 program, and the second in our Act 2 suite of six productions. The Truth and other international works are beautifully complemented by an array of new Australian plays being presented in the months ahead.

    To access the videos in the exercises, please enter the password abj2013 Chapter 1: Radio in Australia The radio services that we have in Australia are very much a product of their early- twentieth-century origins. As you will have read in Chapter 1 of Australian Broadcast Journalism, the three sectors we have today—commercial, community and public broadcasting—each have a distinct style and brief in relation to how they try to appeal to their audiences. You can hear this just by tuning into different stations and listening for yourself. Exercise 1: Listening to a range of programs The best way to learn about radio is to be a listener! Record a commercial program, a community program and an ABC program. 1 Compare their content and presentation styles. 2 What do the programs tell you about their respective audiences? 3 How do they reflect their respective briefs as commercial, community and public broadcasting services? Exercise 2: Podcasting Far from being dead, radio offers a wealth of creative opportunities in the digital age. In September 2013, Radio National’s Common Knowledge program aired a conversation with two innovators in the area of podcasting as part of a ‘radio beyond radio’ conference. Presenters Cassie McCullagh and Jason Di Rosso talked with Silvain Gire, Director and co-founder of Arte Radio, and Francesca Panetta, Special Projects Editor at The Guardian and creator of The Hackney Podcast.
