Original Creative Writing: DavidPJ
An expanding gallery providing rare insights into the career of an actor, writer and director.
1982 The Last Unicorn
1982
The first try was The Last Unicorn; an attempt to write something inspired by a novel by Peter S. Beagle from 1968. It was really just an opportunity to write and direct something at the Sheriden Theatre for the Adelaide Theatre Group, at that time being run by Doug Leonard. There was a large group of people into performance, we had already done a few plays and I asked if it would be possible for me to do a kids play for the school holidays. They said yes, so off we went with a mad cap strange and wonderful play that featured Rosalba Clemente and Doug Leonard among others. It did quite well and encouraged me to continue.

Original Creative Writing: majesty, power, charisma
Shera, mascot of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi, is the most visible face of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi. His name comes from the Hindi word Sher - meaning tiger. Shera truly represents the modern Indian. He is an achiever with a positive attitude, a global citizen but justifiably proud of his nation's ancient heritage, a fierce competitor but with integrity and honesty. Shera is also a 'large-hearted gentleman' who loves making friends and enthusing people to 'come out and play'.

In Indian mythology, the tiger is associated with Goddess Durga, the embodiment of Shakti (or female power) and the vanquisher of evil. She rides her powerful vehicle - the tiger - into combat, especially in her epic and victorious battle against Mahishasur, a dreaded demon.
