NIDA stars in the Long Way Home

NIDA graduates can be found among the amazing cast and crew behind Sydney Theatre Company’s hugely applauded collaboration with the Australian Defence Force, The Long Way Home.

This major new work by writer Daniel Keene uses first-hand accounts to explore the Australian Defence Force’s recent experiences and the impact on the lives and minds of the men and women involved.

One key element that has set this production apart is the inclusion of servicemen and women in the production alongside professional actors, including NIDA graduate Martin Harper. Martin himself has served in both the Regular Army and the Army Reserve since 2000.

The performance also features NIDA alumni Odile Le Clezio and Tahki Saul.

Our graduates were also part of the incredible directing, design and production team that brought the stories of the military personal to life:

Assistant Director: Susannah Dowling

Designer: Renee Mulder

Video Design: Renee Mulder, David Bergman

Stage Manager: Suzanne Large

Assistant Stage Manager: Olivia Benson

Head Electrician/Lighting Operator: Chris Page

FOH Sound Operator: Remy Woods

The Long Way Home is touring nationally, so don’t miss your chance to see our NIDA Alumni in this powerful new work.
