About Me

My photo
That Guy
Writer about Canberra (And interstate) Theatre (and movies) with opinions and the desire to share them. Theoretically anonymous but most people I know already know who I am anyway. If you don't, hey, my name's Simon Tolhurst, I've been watching theatre for four decades and have done various things like production managing, crew and committee work for the last decade and a bit - and very occasionally shown up on stage, wrote a few short plays and directed a few short plays (one of my own, two of other peoples). And I read a lot. But I prefer to think myself as an audience member who happens to write things down. And has a bad tendency not to sub-edit any of it.
