I am a Lecturer in the discipline of English and Writing at the University of Sydney, teaching Rhetoric, English and Writing. I publish regular research on Shakespeare's rhetoric. As a creative writer, I have written two "Shakespearean" blank verse dramas that reapply the rhetorical precepts used by Shakespeare. My first play, "The Tragicall Historie of Woollarawarre Bennelong", was shortlisted for the Griffin Award and is published by Australian Plays.
