Well, a public domain work can be produced, reinterpreted, or recreated without the need to pay royalties. But what does this mean for theatremakers? While there are exemptions to this rule, most works written by an author who died before 1950 can be considered part of the public domain. In Australia, works are generally no longer under copyright once the author has been deceased for more than 70 years. They say that every romance is a recreation of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and every tragedy linked to ‘Macbeth’, but there is something invigorating about bringing old scripts to life, particularly when their status in the public domain gives the creative team an extended licence to reimagine the stories.
