An outsider, a contemporary classic and a drone opera - a podcast by RRR - Triple R

Richard speaks with playwright Merrilee Moss about her new work Running with Emus. Moss was inspired to write this work when she moved to a country town and was "thrust into the role of outsider, otherwise known as blow-in".

Then Richard talks with Sam Strong the director of the new version of David Williamson's play Emerald City, which has been put on to celebrate Williamson's 50th year as a playwright. Strong believes that people have a right to represent their own stories in their own voice. He says that this play was originally groundbreaking in representing an Australian story in an Australian voice, and such works have since helped people of other groups to do the same.

Finally Richard interviews artist Matthew Sleeth about his work A Drone Opera. This work is the culmination of ongoing multi-disclipinary practice around the themes of surveillance, fetishisation of technology, and the military aspect of drones.
