'I DIDN’T DEVELOP A PASSION for theatre until relatively late, in my mid 20s, when I began to encounter a kind of performance that genuinely intoxicated me. Before then, I guess I was mildly interested. Although my parents weren’t theatregoers, my regional secondary school arranged theatrical excursions to Melbourne. My clearest memory of those shows is sneaking cigarettes behind a phone box near the Athenaeum Theatre in Collins Street.' (Introduction)
