About Us

Australian Plays Transform (APT) is Australia’s national play development, publication and licensing organisation. It hosts the world’s largest online showcase and searchable database of the best Australian playwriting.

APT seeks new voices for new times, develops plays that change the national story, links them to production, publishes them, promotes them, and connects them to licensing for future productions here and around the world.

It is an engine of purposeful cultural change and inspiration, centring the voice of the playwright.
