A temporal rift in the space-time continuum connects two complete strangers. A struggling alcoholic is forced to confront his demons whilst a lone shipwreck survivor stranded on a deserted island faces his worst fear: his own mortality. But what is real and can either be saved?

Bruce and I early on decided to leave answers unanswered with this play that questions the space-time continuum and what real and what his imagined.

    One fateful morning, after working for a little while in production departments on various film and television projects, I decided to go for a run around the local park. It was a good run, I was setting a new personal best time up until I tripped and fell and snapped my arm. While in hospital I decided to leave working in Film and focus entirely creating theatre projects. 

    I have gone on to direct, produce and Stage Manage different performances across Auckland.

    I am always on the look out for my next project.
