Back in the rehearsal room today for play I'm developing at NIDA. Awaiting benevolent crucifiction from the really excellent team of actors assembled as it needs a load of work. Ps. play isn't about Royals - it's about smallpox - a sexy challenge for designers

Saw it on Wednesday at the Ensemble Theatre. So clever. Such an extraordinary tale. And so well written and cleverly constructed. Congrats to you, playwright extraordinaire, Melanie Tait!

You are, allow me to say, Melanie, a STAR. That play you have written will go far. And beyond telling such a staggering tale of QEII's fractured relationship with the nanny who effectively raised her, the weaving of scenes and actors was staggeringly clever. #TheQueensNanny

Listen. You’ve gotta go see the Queen’s Nanny at Ensemble, Sydney. It’s brilliant. Only a week left to see it! Packed theatre yesterday and I cried my heart out. Melanie Tait’s most brilliant, creative work yet 🙌🙌🙌 Kid (11) also loved it. Book: ensemble.com.au/shows/the-quee…

This is a play about women’s invisible labour and the crushing pressures of inherited family norms, pathologies and behaviours. It's about human connection, fear, love and cruelty and estrangement. It's about class too. (The royal piece is really just a backdrop.)

The more things change, the more they (kinda) stay the same. Our show is about the first Scottish staff member to 'dish the dirt'*. *write a very sweet memoir of the Queen's childhood that had her banished from court until thirty years after her death. skynews.com.au/lifestyle/cele…
