"Beyond the Neck" is a haunting play about grief and recovery, set ten years after the events at Port Arthur in 1996 and is based on in-depth interviews conducted by Tasmanian playwright, Tom Holloway. "I remember the first report on the radio. Shots had been fired at Port Arthur. It was believed there were casualties. Very little seemed to be known... It was an event that became so tragic that people struggled even to talk about it. It was too big and too painful. For many it still is. For me though it brought up things that I needed to share, to know I wasn't alone, but how do you share something like this? I hope this play is not just about what happened that day. I hope it is not purely about the aftermath either. I hope this play is about something you can feel close to even if you have never heard of Port Arthur." Tom Holloway 2008
