How to write satire

Its importance and difficulties

Hi,

This is a post for paid subscribers. Paid subscribers are legends who support me very directly (as in - they legit help put food on the table). They also get two monthly bonus posts and four whole plays/creative projects a year. BUT! Before we disappear down a paywall, I’ll do a brief plug for the project that inspired this post.

‘Whitlam: An Australian Fantasy’ is a new script I’ve had the pleasure of co-directing with my wife, Emily Burton. Tickets are free. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some very talented actors in training at the University of Southern Queensland, and together, we’ve experimented with political satire. You can find out more about it and book your seats here.
