2014 | Seminar
Guild Theatre, July 9 - 12 2014
In ‘Seminar’, four aspiring young novelists sign up for private writing classes with Leonard, an international literary figure (portrayed by both Alan Rickman and Jeff Goldblum on Broadway). Under his recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction, some thrive and others flounder, alliances are made and broken, sex is used as a weapon and hearts are unmoored. The wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious as innocence collides with experience in this biting comedy by Theresa Rebeck.

2012 Major Production | God of Carnage
Melbourne Fringe Festival
The Theatre Husk, October 3 - 6 2012
The
Vallons and the Reilles meet to discuss a playground incident involving
their children. It isn't long before the thin veneer of sugar-coated
civility is stripped away, and the civilised conversation descends into
childish chaos. Sometimes grown-ups need to be taught a lesson or two.
A savage comedy of no manners. Let the carnage begin...

2011 | The Critic & No More Mr. Nice Guy (double bill)
The Theatre Husk, June 2 - 5 2011
The Critic
Karl 'The Axe' Anderton is the most powerful and scathing theatre critic in Sydney. The actors, directors and writers of the city walk lightly in his shadow all fearing a 'Grand Slam' from 'The Axe' - which could sound the death knell on their career. Producers and publicists fawn over him, hoping to flatter him in to a good review. But when Anderton delivers a second 'Grand Slam' to a young playwright, Alan Fisher, which results in the cancellation of his comeback play, Fisher believes the time has come to take matters into his own hands. Anderton has a secret... and when Alan discovers it, 'The Axe' will receive a 'Grand Slam' of his own.
The Critic is more than 'the writer's revenge' - it is a provocative, funny and at times shocking exposé of theatre, theatre criticism and the media. At its heart is a deadly power play between two men, one with everything, and the other with nothing to lose.
No More Mr. Nice Guy
Three girls. One guy. Big trouble. A comedy about the perils of being too nice.
2010 | Pop Culture - An Opus of Short Plays
The Theatre Husk, December 16 - 19 2010
Get ready to discover the whacky world of 'Pop Culture' - struggling playwrights, desperate actors, manic directors, Cate Blanchett with no friends, and of course, Johnny Depp's pubic hair. Theatre never sounded so good!
The debut eponymous production opened and closed to sell-out crowds, and featured the World Premiere of 'Broken Hearts On The Red Carpet At Tropfest'.
