About this listen

Australian theatre tells its own story so badly.

Dr. Rob thinks they can do the job better. That's what this podcast is.


A life in the Australian theatre is complicated, exhausting, misrepresented and misunderstood. Dr Rob Vs., presents a close up look at the day to day realities and a birds eye assessment of Australian theatre and the systems that support it.

Boy, doesn't that sound like a laugh...


A blend of history, critique, comedy and story telling.


Recorded live at Theatreworks in St Kilda, Victoria.
