Brisbane Shakespeare Festival: Twelfth Night

Over the past couple of months I’ve been to three Shakespeare shows in public parks around south-east Queensland. Spring has sprung and it seems we can’t wait to get out and enjoy the best weather the new season has to offer in tandem with some of the works of our favourite [...]

UPDATE: This is the post Talk About What’s Good that started it all from my Twitter/World Theatre Day/2amt friend and theatre man Travis Bedard in Austin, Texas. If you tweet you’ll find him @travisbedard. Read it for the juicy prose and the kickstart that has seen some of us take to the keyboard. If you [...]

Whilst it is dedicated to the ‘late’ Michael Gow (he is no such thing – MG has never [...]

I’m interviewing Wesley Enoch in his inner-city apartment in Brisbane – 5 minutes on foot to Queensland Theatre Company headquarters on South Bank where he is Artistic Director, and 7 minutes to the Airtrain connection at South Brisbane station – important when you do as much travel as he does.
