Objects of Substance- Chosen Script

The drafting process was seamless, albeit complex, with many Interstate phone calls to seek feedback and ponder questions. It was a trusting and joyous collaboration. The final work was a beautiful, contemporary story that wove a teenage girl’s difficult journey of starting at a new school and facing reality, using the poetic metaphor of intergalactic and stratospheric wonderings and escape.

The process from scriptwriting to theatre-making began in the following year, 2013 as the school production process of auditioning began. With an excited and talented cast, Ms Martin led the direction of the new work, and I was privileged to assist. The production saw one of the most elaborate and technologically advanced set designs the Gehrman Theatre has housed, with innovative projection mapping illuminating an impressive rocket-like stage structure. Sold out shows saw audiences amazed and moved by the theatrical magic and emotive story.
