Oliver Jackson-Cohen stars in ABC TV miniseries The Secret River

Congratulations to Oliver Jackson-Cohen for his starring role in the ABC TV miniseries The Secret River. It tells the story of an English prisoner sent to serve his time in Australia with his young family in tow and the troubled history of the English settlers with the indigenous people of Australia. He worked incredibly hard on this role and developed a beautiful and interesting character. I am very proud of the work he continues to do. Read more about the show and watch the trailer here.

Stonewall Era Drama Comes to NYC

Played in January 2015

This past January, Michael directed a new play written by playwrights Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper. This was the US Debut of A Hard Rain, after premiering in early 2014 at the Above the Stag Theater in London to great reviews. It tells the story of a group of New Yorkers struggling with their identities and societal oppression in the late 60's on the brink of the Stonewall riots.
