On this day, one year ago, our #queer rights oratorio “WATERSHED: The Death of Dr Duncan” received its world premiere @adelaidefestival performance by the amazing @adelaidechambersingers, @ainsleymelham (The Lost Boy), Mark Oats (Duncan/Dunstan), Pelham Andrews (Mick O’Shea/Cop). Libretto by Alana Valentine & Christos Tsiolkas, directed by Neil Armfield.

Creating this with so many incredible people would have to be the most significant and wonderful experience of my life. Looking forward to more of Watershed in the future 🙏💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (at Dunstan Playhouse, Festival Theatre)
