Plays
The most recent play I've been working on is How the Goose Broke Open (funded by the Australia Council). It has undergone two rehearsed readings, one directed by Greg Carroll at the Carlton Courthouse (2010) and the second directed by Rebecca Headlam for the Tasmania Theatre Company (2011).
It’s not an island, there is a neck of land, and Splawfoot guards it with a chain of dogs. Only Loomis knows how to cross it, but he's stuck back with Meredith in a hole at the end of a rope. He's talking about girls, and he wants some cake. The rope is eternally out of reach. He wants to sing the fun song, the one with actions. There is escape but there is nowhere left.
How The Goose Broke Open is a work of speculative fiction, an apocalyptic tale drawn from Australia’s gruesome colonial past. It is a kangaroo stew of convict stories, inspired by the ‘gentleman bushranger’ Martin
Cash and the strange account of Billy Hunt at the Eaglehawk Neck dog chain on the Tasman Peninsular between Port Arthur and Hobart.
Stay tune for more on this, and so will I, I'm plugging away to get something happening with it.
