I think it's one of the best plays in the world.

And I was doing a TV job.

It was my first job and I wanted to do theatre so badly.

And I would just go through all the independent theatre companies in Sydney and I'd go through their website and I'd find what plays they were doing.

And then I'd read the plays and I'd look up if there was a role for a 17-year-old, and then if there was, I'd read the play, and I had read A View from the Bridge, and I was like, oh, my God, I have to audition for this.
