Failing to please audiences or critics was Louis Nowra’s Inner Voices directed by David Bell which Billinghurst insisted was “not due to the standard of production, rather to the twin areas of esoteric script and our failure to find the right mode of marketing to reach the play’s potential audience”.[i]
Batchelor, reviewing the play on a night attended by only 20 audience members, could only muster irritation as the evening progressed “partly with the play for not adequately synthesising its disparate elements, partly with the production for being so humourless, and largely with the cast for making much of the script incomprehensible”.[ii]
