His adaptation, with Justin Monjo, of Tim Winton's "Cloudstreet" enjoyed huge critical and box-office success at the Festivals of Sydney and Perth (whose co-production it was), on tour of Australia, at the Festival of Dublin, and in London. He wrote for ABC Radio, including "Watching over Israel" (1990 AWGIE winner, Best Radio Play). His non-dramatic work includes a book for children, "The Maitland and Morpeth String Quartet" (illustrated by Victoria Roberts), a set of verses for "The Carnival of the Animals", and occasional verse. He edited "Holding the Man", a memoir by his former NIDA student, Timothy Conigrave, and, following Conigrave's death, saw it to publication by Penguin Books.
