A Short History of TheatreWorks presents an illustrated chronology of the first dozen years of this small but remarkable theatre company that grew out of Victoria's community theatre movement at the beginning of the 1980s and continues to support local, original theatre from its home base in the Acland Street Parish Hall in St. Kilda. TheatreWorks first gained a reputation for innovative performance styles in 1982 with their revolutionary production of Storming Mont Albert by Tram - the world's first play on a moving tram. What became known as The Tram Show was subsequently reproduced seven times on trams in both Melbourne and Adelaide and lead to the creation of a number of other ground breaking site-specific plays in riverboats, pubs and cinemas, mansions, boarding houses, parks, tents and gardens.

"Living Rooms" is the fifth play in the Picture Play series by Paul Davies. It was originally produced by TheatreWorks as a site-specific work in 1986. The play takes place entirely within an historic mansion known as "Linden" situated at 26 Acland Street, St. Kilda, Melbourne. It deals with three key periods in the building's history: family mansion (1900), boarding house (1972) and art gallery (1988). These three scenes, set in three separate rooms (Drawing Room, Flatette and Gallery) are played simultaneously as the three separate audience groups rotate through the building. Thus, each group witnesses the whole play but in different orders. Finally all characters and audience members come together for a final, surreal scene in the hallway. The play deals with how St. Kilda originated as a wealthy Victorian suburb, then declined to a seedy, downmarket hub for drugs and prostitution until finally becoming regentrified in the late twentieth century.
