21.01.2022 Happy New year everyone. I'm excited about my new play starting in May about Billy Thorpe it's not a tribute show. It's a story about my friend of forty one years Leigh Farnell's relationship with Billy Thorpe's music. From his adolescences through to adult life, charting the course of Billy's music and Leigh fear of acquiring his fathers genetic muscular illness. Many of us grew up with Billy Thorpe, in this play he takes centre stage again. The play is called "Billy Thor...pe and Leigh" The play opens on the 16th of May till the 28th of May at the Alex Theatre, Fitzroy Street, St Kilda. The music of Billy Thorpe including Somewhere Over The Rainbow" "Most People I know think that I'm crazy"' "Children of the Sun"

03.01.2022 My fried Jack Crahpot is in Israel at the moment. He went to the Holocaust Museum Yad Vashem to look to see if my play The Trial Of Adolf Eichmann was there. ...It was. Which was honour enough. It was also alongside Hannah Arendt’s books. She of course is one of the great twentieth century philosophers. My play’s views on Eichmann are opposites to hers, and I believe mine aremore accurate. That said, few know who I am, she is famous, it is such an honour to be part of the debate on one of the most important events in Hunan history namely the Trial of Adolf Eichmann and the Holocaust itself. Theatre albeit deep in the antioedes has a place. See more
