Description A Touchy Subject was first produced at The Parks Community Centre Theatre 1 at 2pm on Friday 3rd July and was launched by Anne Levy MLC in front of an invited audience. The original set was designed to look like a giant comic book. The play was a comic look at Sexual Harassment and the law was designed as a discussion starter for T.A.F.E, Government Departments and Work Sites. In 1987 toured interstate and intrastate and was funded by a variety of sources including arts and non arts funding. It was written and designed to be used as a training tool by Government and Educational institutions. This tour was part of the second tour in 1998.
