INTERVIEW: The Dictionary of Imaginary Places

Rita Dimasi, ArtsHub.com.au, October 2009

"I had an image and an idea where I wanted to end up, but I had to give myself over to the process – which was about looking at found text. So I had to take what was found and build something from that."

Reading between the (rail) lines

Urszula Dawkins, Melbournefestival.com.au, September 2009

"Words tell us a lot and they are often perceived as the most prevalent form of communication. However, what is rapidly apparent when we just take someone's words, as I have done here, is that the amount we don't know outweighs what we do manyfold."

Private words, public laughter

Martin Ball, theage.com.au, October 2009

"Part of the attraction of verbatim theatre is its ability to embody Bertolt Brecht's "distancing effect", offering the audience an objective point of view."

REVIEW: The Dictionary of Imaginary Places

Anne-Marie Peard, aussietheatre.com.au, October 2009

"The Dictionary of Imaginary Places is a view of Melbourne that could be imagined by none other that the creators, but still resonates with us who live on train lines, and even those who can only imagine the joys of public transport."
