100 Reasons for War/Carpet & Sand

FIN.100REASONS--27.jpg
FIN.100REASONS--12.jpg

Two plays, one cast… a gorilla and a dozen or so sheep.

​

Carpet and Sand is a pastiche of narrative threads. Peter Brook and a troupe of actors travel through the Sahara Desert in search of a new type of theatre. Tens of thousands of sheep spontaneously panic and stampede across Oxfordshire. A flock of birds gather for a conference. The play asks: who do we follow and why?

​

100 Reasons for War is a series of vignettes exploring the very nature of war and humanity. A play about the power of language, the birth of public relations, the difference between a society of baboons and a society of bonobos, and ultimately, why we’ve had so many wars since the “Great War”. Written in 2015, 100 Reasons for War is a funny, provocative, and cautionary response to the 100-year anniversary of Gallipoli.

VCA GRAD PRODUCTION:
Dead Serious

There were five on a chartered yacht.

Then there were four on a stormy sea.

After dinner, there were three…

It is a weak-chinned divorcee, a bloodthirsty business shark, a pissed falling star, a pious aerobics matriarch and a cutthroat grandma.

It is murder on the Choral Queen. It is Dead Serious.

Get it?

Good.

La Mama 2021:
Grand Gesture REMOUNTED

Sad that you missed the sold-out fringe season of Grand Gesture? Well now you can also be sad that you missed it at La Mama! 

We were very honoured to be the first show La Mama chose to open with post-lockdown. This show about love and rom-coms was greatly needed in the world at that point.

Melbourne Fringe 2019:
Grand Gesture

I love you. I love New Year’s Eve. I love the house you built me. I love Paris. I love the top of the Empire State Building. I love summer. I love my brother. I love dogs. I love Frida Kahlo. I love Mandy Patinkin. I love mid-century architecture. I love Adidas. I love banana bread. I love my Macbook Pro. I love you.

An exploration of deep true deep deep love using verbatim pop culture texts as a starting point and everything in the universe as an ending point.
