As a playwright Sam has had upwards of ten full-length
plays produced, and has assembled a great deal of practical experience as
director, producer, dramaturge etc. His play In Angel Gear won best production at the Victorian Green
Room Awards of its year. His script for Earthbound was the first screenplay to be shortlisted
for the Victorian PremierÕs Literary Awards. He has had a much short prose
published – both fiction and non-fiction. An unpublished science-fiction
novel, Autopsy Turvy,
was shortlisted in the George Turner Prize for first SF novels in manuscript.
Through the 1980Õs and late 1970Õs, Sam sang for
various bands – principally The Ears and Beargarden. While never quite breaking through to commercial
success, he was prominent on the underground scene. An album and half a dozen
singles/EPÕs were released. The bands toured with artists such as INXS, Culture
Club, The Birthday Party, Cold Chisel, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Pretenders,
Simple Minds etc.
Dogs in Space, a film directed by Richard Lowenstein, was based on
Sam in his early twenties and led to a lasting notoriety.
This year, Mysterium - a
winner of the Wal Cherry Award - will be produced at the Courthouse in Carlton.
ChamberMade Opera will be mounting The Hive: an opera based on his winner of the Victorian
PremierÕs Literary award for Drama
