‘Everlasting’ was written especially for my ‘Fancy A Quickie 3’
play festival. It was on along with 7 other ‘new plays’ of mine that were performed in
Griffith NSW in 2013.
Gerry Sont and Anna Jahjah were BRILLIANT! Hope you enjoy the video.

It’s always nice getting feedback from producers and here’s what I was sent about ‘Catastrophe’
SHORT AND SWEET SYDNEY AND BANGALORE! 2013
I was fortunate enough to have my play ‘Everlasting’ in Short&Sweet Sydney AND Bangalore in February this year. What an honour to find out that the Indian performance was such a success it had the audience clapping and standing. It scored 2nd overall. The Sydney performance was directed by Nadia Hamoud and starred Claudia Carvajal and Richard Carwin. The Indian production of the same play was directed by Jayanth Vm who also performed the lead male role and Rashmi Sharma.
The Sydney production was held at King Street Theatre, Newtown and at RangaShankara, JP Nagar, Bangalore.

I enrolled in an acting course. It’s absolutely beneficial if you’re serious about writing and directing. I have gained so much knowledge and will put the course material to good use.
TROPFEST 2013!
What a wonderful experience yet again! We literally got this short film done in two weeks. I adapted the stage play for screen. Paul Barlow filmed and edited the short and Rachel Stocks and Douglas Ridgewell starred in it. There were a few behind the scenes personnel. My son, my husband, daughter, Janine and others. Whatever happens from now on is irrelevant, we can say we did it! They will announce the short list on 14th Febrary 2013
