How did you get involved, first of all, in writing Luke? Was there a sort of inspiration-type moment for it?

So I guess there are two questions.

One is I became aware of Red Stitch almost a decade ago now, and I knew that they had a pathway program for developing new artists.

So I became interested in that.

And then I was selected a few years ago to be part of the Ink program, and it was a discussion.

The way that they work is it's good to be able to write for the ensemble.

They're an ensemble-driven theatre with actors.

Tell us about some of the performers in the performance Luke put on by Red Stitch Theatre.

for the writer to change?

I once did a play called Human Error many years ago.

And I saw the first preview and realised that it was too long.

And I went home that night and crossed out everything that needed to be.

Hold on, the poor actor.

Poor actor, absolutely.

Yeah.

How long was that process for you?
