2026 Season Announcement

Directed by Gin O’Brien

I love dogs! I love stories about dogs. I love stories spoken by humans from a dog’s point of view. I love stories where humans are pretending to be dogs. Funny stories, sad stories, violent stories; love them all. So, how could I resist wanting to direct The Dog Logs? 

Come and meet my newest companions from a Rottweiler with neighbour problems to a prima donna toy poodle, these monologues examine the lives of dogs from every breed, age and situation. This is my full-length directorial debut, and I can’t wait to share it with everyone.

AUDITIONS: Sunday 9 November

Directed by Ruby Abbott

I won’t tell, if you won’t.

You Can’t Tell Anyone is a philosophical thriller that examines the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Thanks to a game of Paranoia, this group of teens will never be the same again. No one is safe, not even the audience.

I am very excited to be bringing a youth centred play to Ballarat in 2026. Our town is exploding with young talent. I hope you’re there to witness it.

219. That’s how many unplayed voicemails I have.

One is from a man who died a day later. We never met but his ghost lives on my phone. It’s been a year and to listen now would seem like desecrating a grave. So it stays, hidden amongst the voices of the living. If I listened, would he know? If I left a message, what would I say?

Exploring this blurring of the lines between the heard and the unseen, how technology connects us as humans while robbing us of our humanity, is why I’m excited to be bringing Dead Man’s Cell Phone to BNT.
