Don't Look Away preview

Thanks to the media, my friends and colleagues who came along last night to support the preview launch of my new one man show "Don't Look Away" at Darlinghurst's Eternity Playhouse Theatre. Special thanks to all the wonderful folks at Canon Australia who are the backbone of my show, Roshan, Natasha, Kate, Chris, Alan, Steve, Jason...and many more. There would be no show without the amazing collaboration with these talented folks as well, my beautiful partner Elizabeth, David Field, David Bridie, Untitled Films and Jacques Menasche. 

After a successful premiere at MONA's Mofo festival in January my show comes to Sydney as part of the Vivid Festival where I'll be performing four shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). Dates for these shows to be announced soon.

Black Harvest Revisited with Bob Connolly

Fin Review story_2017.jpg

Following on from our short film Family Matters for ABC's Foreign Correspondent program late last year last week the Australian Financial Review Magazine came out with our printed story called No Country For Old Men. The work Bob and I have been doing has been to retrace Bob's journey through making his three seminal PNG films twenty five years after. Finding the film's original characters and finding out their stories now whilst looking at Bob's relationship with them. 

Have a listen to Bob Connolly's radio interview yesterday on ABC Radio National with Geraldine Doogue.
