About the Artists
Melbourne’s MKA: Theatre of New Writing was established in 2010 as a response to the lack of support being given to new writing across Victoria. Modelled on the Royal Court, SOHO Writers’ Theatre and others, MKA comes to Geelong after two highly succesful seasons that included shows from Melbourne, Perth, Croatia as well as Finnigan’s own Twenty-Two Short Plays.
David Finnigan is a writer and theatre-maker based in Canberra. He has worked as Writer-in-Residence with Tanghalang Pilipino, the key government-funded theatre company in the Philippines, and was a founding director of the Crack Theatre Festival and the You Are Here Festival. He is acclaimed as the maker of many well-loved picture books, which include ‘The Bunyip of Berkeley’s Creek’, ‘John Brown, Rose and the Midnight Cat’, ‘Henry’s Bed’ and ‘Henry’s Bath’. His Extinct series: ‘I Saw Nothing, The Extinction of the Thylacine’; ‘I Said Nothing, The Extinction of the Paradise Parrot’; and ‘I Did Nothing, The Extinction of the Gastric-Brooding Frog’ won a Wilderness Society Literary Award in 2004. He now lives in Huonville, Tasmania with his wife and two daughters.
