Production Program
atyp mounts up to eight productions a year. These might be radical versions of classics, new plays by young writers, devised performances, physical theatre, or plays written for the company by leading Australian writers, such as Alana Valentine's Grounded, Kate Mulvany and Ann-Louise Sarks' Medea and Max Remy Super Spy by Deborah Abela, adapted by Jo Turner.
These productions have featured in major Festivals such as the 2000 Olympic Arts Festival (Stephen Sewell's version of Aristophanes' Birds), 2002 Sydney Festival (Kinderspiel, a collaboration with Theater an der Parkaue, Germany's largest theatre for children and young people), 2003 Shell Connections festival for the National Theatre, London (Brokenville by Philip Ridley), and 2004 Sydney Festival (The Musicians/Eclipse, a co-production with the National Theatre's Young Company ). Productions have toured regionally, nationally and internationally; and regularly involve many of Australia's leading directors, designers and writers.
