It's our final visit to the West for 2022, so what will Perth correspondent Helen Simondson be telling us about before she introduces her guest, writer, director, designer, composer and all ‘round theatre maker Joe Paradise Lui…

Back in the East, another theatre maker, Ben Anderson, is about to present a new work as part of La Mama explorations…  Wake is a dark puppetry performance which explores the idea that no-one’s in control…

Meanwhile, at Theatre Works, we check in on another new work, The Mentor by Joshua White and we speak with actor Amanda Muggleton who plays a one-time Hollywood star who’s life and career are spiralling in the wrong direction.

And finally, Kgshak Akec is an actor, poet and writer whose debut novel, Hopeless Kingdom, won the Dorothy Hewitt Award for an unpublished manuscript. We’ll find out how you write with perspective about experiences in your own life in the voices of a child and a mother when you’re only 24 years old.

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
