Between 2017 and 2025 I was Head of Programming at Monash Performing Arts Centres which meant taking a break from outside directing or acting. 2026 will see me back in the game with Crapbox/Early Morning. These other three projects showcase the variety of work that I have been involved with since Union House Theatre, Black Swan Theatre Co and Queensland Theatre Co.

Selected Reviews
Director Tom Gutteridge [marshals] strong performances – particularly from Hamill, Paine and Giles Pidd. Any new Williamson play attracts wide interest, and this is a better, riskier, and more ambitious work than anything he's written recently.
Credentials, Sydney Morning Herald, 2 August 2017
Director Tom Gutteridge has succeeded with a wonderful Australian/British cast.
Yes, Prime Minister. Sydney Arts Guide, 6 April 2012
Yes, Prime Minister, it is just as witty after some 24 years, it is just as clever, and it is just as excruciatingly relevant
Australian Stage, 26 May 2012
…the hard work, grit and determination of the Monash Performing Arts Centres, Melbourne Baroque Orchestra, Polyphonic Voices, the Choir of Trinity College, Melbourne, Australian Boys’ Choir and Michael Fulcher paid off, culminating in an exceptionally poignant and stirring experience.
St Matthew Passion, ClassikON, 26 March 2024
