New publication about The Mill Theatre Company
I’m delighted to share the news that Meredith Rogers has just published a very distinguished new book about the years I spent in Geelong working at Deakin University with The Mill Theatre Company. In The Mill, Experiments in Theatre and Community, she describes and analyses the work of the Mill Theatre Company and the academic program in the performing arts at Deakin University which I, and others, established at that time.
The book can be purchased at Australian Scholarly Publishing.
