Abstract: Research background: Kerry Greenwood is an Australian novelist who has written a series of detective novels set in Victoria in the 1920's. Research contribution: This was a uniquely theatrical interpretation, involving storytelling theatre techniques using objects as well as dance and song of the twenties. No words were added to the script and much of the novel was spoken, inclusive of stage directions. Research significance: This was the first theatrical production of Murder on the Ballarat Train, adapted from the novel by the director Kim Durban with the permission of the author, and workshopped with the Graduate Acting company for its Australian premiere in the regional centre of Ballarat.
