Diana Nguyen as Ma in Silence

Diana Nguyen as Ma in Silence

I’m going to Berlin on Saturday and am very excited by this. During the Melbourne Writers Festival I met Antje Strubel, the German writer exchanged to Australia and we had very interesting conversations about writing, philosophy etc. I’m looking forward to meeting her again in Germany.

I’m leaving Silence in very good hands with Wolf Heidecker who is working with the cast and the puppeteers. It never fails to amaze me how someone else can read so much into your words and sentences. The play truly does have a life of its own.

Tom Cho is going from strength to strength- you can vote for his book for the Melbourne Civic Literature Prize!
