And it was what used to be called a “middle-range theatre company” that was based in Melbourne that was founded by three people, me included and two other actors – because we were mostly just actors then – who wanted to engage with the politics of unionism and the working-class. That company absolutely, astoundingly, especially now if you think what it’s like now, how bleak it is in terms of middle-range and independent theatre companies, and their lack of existence and a future that’s not very promising – I just think that company grew and was supported and funded and every year was a huge surprise.
