Description Beyond the Neck depicts the impact of the Port Arthur massacre on four characters ten years on, based on interviews conducted with people who were touched by the events. The play demonstrates how Martin Bryant’s violent killing of 35 tourists and bystanders in Tasmania in 1996 had an enduring effect not only on those directly involved, but upon many others around the country for whom it became a touchstone for unexpected and senseless horror.
