Over a professional theatre career spanning fifteen years, Wesley Enoch's directing credits have carved a swathe across Indigenous writing with productions of Gilbert's Cherry Pickers, Davis' The Dreamers and Jane Harrison's Stolen to name but a few. His writing credits are almost as many including co-writing The 7 Stages of Grieving with Deborah Mailman, and winning the 2006 Patrick White Award for his play Cookie's Table.
In a telephone interview with Mark Radvan, Enoch discussed some of the issues underlying Boat and made some interesting observations comparing directing works for adults and for the Indigenous community.
