We’re well into the rehearsals for this exciting, intricate piece. Here’s a photo of me doing some heavy lifting as the assistant director. The writing is incredible and dense, the piece itself is technical involving overlapping languages and a lot of camera movement. I’m learning so much from this process. I’m constantly in awe of Sarah Goodes and watching the way she works with these immensely talented actors. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me. This is going to be a very special show, and, in my completely unbiased opinion, will be the highlight of the MTC season. You can also purchase a published edition of the play which I did quite a bit of work on the mandarin for. You might also find a photo of me side!
