My first theatre experience was…playing Wong in the Good Woman of Szechuan at Uni.

If I was a character in a play I'd be…Alice in Alice in Wonderland.

I hate theatre when…it lets me down.

Playwrights who inspire me…Kit Lazaroo, Brecht, Dominic Huc Golding, Binh Ta.

The best line that never made it into one of my plays is ...Meow meow.

My best or worst moment working in the theatre was ...The best moment seeing the lights go up on Silence in production for the first time.

Heroes or villains - whose side are you on…In Silence I think it is possible to be on both.

My last big laugh was about... Tony Abbott.

My last big whinge was about…Rudd’s stance on refugees.

The role of theatre in 21st century Australia is…to enlighten and inspire.
