You can almost see the book
Boy on a Wire is a book by this blogger. You may seen the occasional reference.
It is ready now, almost. This first thing to do is launch it and this will be done next week, on Thursday March 19th, at Christ Church Grammar School, Claremont, West Australia, a school a bit like the school in the book. No, not any more, but once, a long time ago, it might have looked like it.
The great news is it will be launch by West Australian playwright, actor, and ex-boarding school boy, Reg Cribb.
Here is Reg’s bio:
Reg started out life as a musician and an actor. One day he came to his senses and wrote 10 plays in seven years. His plays have been performed both nationally and internationally. He is one of the most awarded and produced playwrights in the country.
Reg lives in Bassendean, Perth with his wife Kirsty. His house is directly opposite Rolf Harris’s old primary school. He hopes the magic will one day rub off on him.
His plays include: The Return: which has been produced all over Australia and internationally as far abroad as Japan and Romania, Last Cab to Darwin: Directed by Jeremy Sims for Pork Chop Productions, which toured everywhere between The Sydney Opera House and Broken Hill and is one of the most awarded Australian plays in the last 15 years, Gulpilil: A one man show about the life of Aboriginal acting legend David Gulpilil, in which the actor played himself (Adelaide International Arts Festival 2004, Brisbane International Arts Festival 2004 and Belvoir St. Theatre – Sydney), Chatroom: Nominated for numerous awards and currently touring nationally, and Ruby’s Last Dollar: Again directed by Jeremy Sims.
Last Train To Freo, the feature film adaptation of ‘The Return’ is his first feature.
He is currently working on an adaptation of his play Chatroom to be directed by Samantha Lang and produced by Sue Taylor, and Bran Nue Dae by Jimmy Chi to be directed by Rachel Perkins. His half hour film Grange was shown on ABC T.V in 2005.
Keep you eyes on your local bookshop.
Boy on a Wire will be there any minute.
