Please note: this work discusses the events of the Port Arthur Massacre, as well as other personal and wider traumatic events. It at no point depicts the above, nor does it state the name of the perpetrator at any time.
“𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅… 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒎𝒚 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒂 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒂 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒚.”
Four strangers – a cricket-loving boy, a reluctant teenage girl, a mother on a work-gifted holiday and a local tour guide – are brought together in the wake of one of Australia’s darkest moments. As their stories collide, memories and resentments give way to healing and human connection.
Written from consultation with the survivors, families of victims, and helping professions affected by the Port Arthur Massacre for its 10 year anniversary, Beyond the Neck returns to Tasmania for the first time since 2007. A tender exploration of the ongoing impacts of unspoken trauma, it asks – what unites us in the wake of devastation?
It is a gentle and non-voyeuristic testimony to the healing possibilities of storytelling.
