In Conversation with Jane Allen — In Our Blood and the Legacy of Queer Storytelling in Australia
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Our Blood is a four‑part musical drama inspired by Australia’s radical and community‑driven response to the AIDS crisis in the early 1980s. Created by producer and writer Jane Allen — whose credits include Janet King (2014), the groundbreaking crime series that introduced one of Australian TV’s first lesbian lead characters — the series blends music, politics, and personal stories to illuminate a pivotal moment in the nation’s history.
In this Queer Conversation, Jane Allen reflects on the creative process behind In Our Blood, the origins and cultural impact of Janet King, and her transformative experience as part of the Antarctica Arts Fellowship.
She discusses how queer storytelling has evolved in Australia and why revisiting this era remains vital for today’s audiences.
