Overview


Stovepipe: The story of a private soldier in Iraq trying to track down what happened to his buddies. Described as “thrilling, refreshingly muscular drama” by London’s Evening Standard and “the most exciting theatrical thriller in town” by the Daily Telegraph. Premiered in HighTide Festival 2008.

Fixer: When terrorists attack an oil pipeline in the north of  Nigeria journalists swarm, as do consultants, spin doctors and fixers; those hoping to make a buck by negotiating between cultures. Premiered in HighTide Festival 2009.

Selected by PlayWriting Australia as representatives of the finest pieces of new writing recently produced in international theatre. This is the first part of HighTide's British / Australian Cultural Exchange Programme that will see two Australian writers developed through the HighTide Warehouse in 2010.
