Beyond the Neck is a play written by the Australian playwright Tom Holloway and published by Brisbane's Playlab Press in 2008,[1] as the first full-length play that Holloway created.[2] The play is divided into two halves, "The First Movement" and "The Second Movement".[1] It is based upon the stories and testimonies of the victims of the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre[2] and is centred at the Broad Arrow Café in Tasmania[1] where the event took place. In 2004, as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival, La Mama chose an early draft of the script to further develop, and so in 2005, with funding from the Australian Council of Arts, Holloway began the process of researching the event of the Port Arthur Massacre and interviewing those most affected.[3] The play was included in the NSW HSC Drama Syllabus from 2015-2018.[2]
