Crack Theatre Festival must be the only forum that brings together independent theatre makers from across Australia to talk about what they do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a new festival in the TiNA basket, so they're asking questions about what people want from them. I'm drawn to them, waiting to see how they morph over the next couple of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a
