Development of The Haunted commenced in June 1985, when Handspan Theatre travelled to the Central Australian Desert for a cultural exchange residency with the Anangu community at Anantja Outstation. For two weeks Handspan and the Pitjantjatjara Anangu met to share stories and experiences.
The company returned to Melbourne to create The Haunted, which premiered in Melbourne for the 1985 Next Wave Festival and played at the Breakout Festival in Alice Springs.
