To anyone that cares,
Hi, I'm fresh in the country and need some advice. I've spent the last 10 years working as an actor in the UK and I'm setting up a pitch to Sydney Theatre company's for a new project.
I'd love any advice along the lines of how does a new bloke in town set a play up.
The last 5 yrs I've been working with John Godber and The Hull Truck Theatre Company and the show I'll be doing will be heavenly influenced by what I've learnt.
I'd love to chat to anyone who basically knows the Sydney scene.
Cheers

Zach

Um, yeah, don't forget insurance, getting crew etc. But if you're pitching to a company (for them to put the show on, instead of you doing it yourself), it may be a little different. I don't live in Syd, but I do suggest working out budgets, plans for the show, when to perform it, why, etc. It could also help if you performed some of it at the pitch - I know that's helped some friends of mine.
