Directing – highlights
The Museum of Modern Love
by Tom Holloway adapted from the novel by Heather Rose
Seymour Centre & Sydney Festival
The undoubted highlight for me was The Museum of Modern Love, Tom Holloway’s ingenious adaptation of Heather Rose’s luminous and mysterious novel. Director Timothy Jones assembled an eight-person cast of uncompromised quality, and all was in place for a world-class piece of drama. – Sydney Morning Herald

MADE TO MEASURE by Alana Valentine
Seymour Centre – Charles Perkins Centre, Sydney University
Directed by Timothy Jones, Valentine’s snappy and very moving script is unflinching, yet filled with both light and dark humour.– Arts Hub

The Hansard Monologues – Age of Entitlement
By Katie Pollock and Paul Daley
Seymour Centre – Glen St Theatre – Merrigong
It’s punchy, it’s funny, and it’s surprisingly moving. If you like your politics delivered with wit and style, or your theatre to be very literally ripped from contemporary events, The Hansard Monologues should be right in your sweet spot. – The Guardian

2071
by Duncan MacMillan and Professor Chris Rapley
Seymour Centre – Vivid Sydney
John Gaden as Rapley is magnificent. In a towering performance he is like a refined, much loved inspirational and charismatic lecturer.The performance asks: How can we reduce our carbon footprint and do more to reduce global warming? What will the world be like in 2071? – Arts Hub
