The Biding Time country halls tour visited five villages in central west NSW with a production that I wrote and directed with a Mudgee cast and crew. Three actors and our composer/musician played a range of crazy characters to tell the story of a country girl’s rise to fame and her search for happiness.

Coming out of the BiDiNG TiME concept, which encourages different communities to produce localised versions of its ‘rise to fame’ story, this play's first form was a staged reading at Dubbo's Artlands regional arts conference. Based on the success of that staging, we received Create NSW funding from Arts on Tour to go on the road.

The production was greeted warmly and enthusiastically by our village audiences, who were eager to have us return with another show.
