"Newk" 

by Kieran Carroll

 

Across 2025 and 2026, Paul has been delighted to tour Kieran Carroll's solo play "Newk", telling stories from the life of Australian tennis legend of the 1960s and '70s, John Newcombe. 

​​

Directed by the fabulous Ross Daniels, "Newk" traverses Newcombe's triumphs and challenges, on and off the court, along with a dose of humour, a nod to nostalgia, and glass of Cinzano!

​

Paul will retire his racket, and the handle-bar moustache, in November 2026 with a regional tour of NSW from Coffs Harbour to Wagga Wagga, and Tarcutta back to Sydney.

​Cymbeline, Caligula & Burning House

Following Robert Johnson's ambitious and powerful 2022 production of Caligula (by Albert Camus) at Theatre Works in Melbourne, Paul was delighted to return to the stage in Fitzroy with Burning House (alongside Heart String Theatre Co) for a production of Shakespeare's rarely performed late play, Cymbeline (as both Iachimo and Belarius).

​

​

Paul has been an Associate Artist with Burning House since 2022. He looks forward to more productions with this vibrant and innovative team.

Animation

Paul continues to develop a range of exciting work with graphic artist and animator, Guy Downes.

 

Working on an array of projects, they tell stories and explore ideas together with curiosity and optimism. Paul writes many of the scripts, and provides regular voice overs!

​

In 2021, Paul scripted an animation for the Royal Australian & NZ College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) called The Beating Hearts of Australia. The animation was part of an event at Parliament House in Canberra.

It Starts With Us is an animation Paul scripted and voiced for CSIRO. It's focus is the experience of women working in STEM, and the critical need to change attitudes and behaviours to ensure women are a valued, equal and enduring part of science and technology in Australia.
