I'm a New Zealand actor recently arrived in Melbourne. I have produced and directed much of my own work in New Zealand and I am looking for a Melbourne based producer, preferably someone who is familiar with the Melbourne theatre scene, to produce my shows here. My work is low-budget fringe theatre, usually derived from classical themes, but with a dynamic avante-garde philosophy. Successful shows I have performed in New Zealand and would like to perform again here include: "Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray": A one man show adapted and performed by myself. The show suits small venues and a modest budget. "Bacchae": Described in my press-releases as a "gothic-rock-opera" based on Euripides' play. It is actually a little more complicated than that; the show is preformed in a dance venue and features a live band, enough strap-on dildoes for the whole audience, and the simulated human-sacrifice of a local cop. Rather than being theatre I envision the show as Bacchic ritual for the 21st Century. Furthermore I am developing several new ideas, including an avante garde Shakespeare. If you would like to help me realise these insane creations on the Melbourne stage (or mosh pit) then please contact me. Profit-sharing or other arrangements open to negotiation. You can email me at jonathan_wicken@yahoo.co.nz or phone me on 04 1517 3966
