Can We Talk About This? will premiere in August 2011 at Sydney Opera House, followed by an international tour (see dates below). Lloyd Newson’s latest work deals with freedom of speech, censorship and Islam.

From the book burnings of Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses, to the murder of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh and the controversy surrounding the ‘Muhammad cartoons’, DV8’s production will examine how these events have reflected and influenced multicultural policies, press freedom and artistic censorship.
