Jenny Lovell & Carole Patullo
Workplace bullying is the new virus and
Australia is really good at it! We have one of the highest rates in the
world! Are we proud?
Bully Virus is satirical, moving Verbatim
Theatre with actors telling real people’s stories about workplace bullying.
Many victims escape to new jobs, most take no action against bullies, some seek
compensation. However, bullying claims are frequently denied which compounds
the victim’s indignity and anxiety.
Bully Virus does not try to tell
everyone’s story or even the worst stories, but it shows that,
despite myriad anti-bullying initiatives, workplace bullying is alive and
well – and hurting workers.
Bully Virus is directed and written
by Kate Herbert and performed by Jenny Lovell, Carole Patullo, Geoff Wallis and
Anna Durham (music). The play is developed from interviews with real victims of
bullying.
Kate Herbert is a Melbourne-based
playwright, director, theatre reviewer, performer and lecturer
in performing arts and writing.
