I thought it would be extremely interesting if I was to observe a multitude of extreme differences in these two neighborhoods due to the fact that they are less than a mile apart from each other.

By similarly incorporating elements, styles and acting techniques intended by both playwrights, my group was able to create a fully theatrically realised piece that communicated Australian issues powerfully. Alike to Neighbourhood Watch, Stolen explores identity in a way that educated white Australians on the…

lives, society is a moving picture and identities are understood by looking at what people do rather than who they are. Furthermore a social identity is created through connections with others in different situations or places as we can find in neighbourhoods, by looking at the way people interact with each other and the sort of virtual, unwritten rules regarding privacy and friendship that people abide by everyday.
