HALF A PERSON: MY LIFE AS TOLD BY THE SMITHS
Deeply enjoyable, relatable and charming
X&Y Magazine
It's kind of sexy, very funny, very sad, and perfect for Smiths fans.
Southern Star
A standout performance, effortlessly radiant and engaging throughout.
Stage Whispers
A stage show of rough and touching ideas, sheer genius at work.
dB Magazine
This work is much more than just a fan story, it is a moving life story.

Directed by ROBERT CHUTER
Music Re-creation by SIMON POLINSKI & COLIN BERWICK
With MARK TAYLOR as William
William is a young man with three obsessions: very strong long blacks, pining for his lost Salome, and listening to The Smiths. He only exists to devour coffee, despise people and worship the patron saint of wrist-slashing Morrissey. Just like his idol, the world he occupies is cruelly lonely. He stumbles from cafe to cemetery in search of a companion or maybe just a confidant. He runs headlong into Salome; the obtuse, obstructive, agent of seduction who slithers her way into his addictive personality. Meanwhile, the best friend that he never knew he might not have one day, Rick, is struggling with his desire for William while confronting his own mortality. A dark and funny play set to the music of The Smiths, the music that gives William as chance to be more than just Half A Person.
Mark Taylor recently donned a rifle and helmet for the HBO mini-series The Pacific, before making a dramatic change of pace by touring Australia with a children's theatre company.
Director Robert Chuter recently completed his debut feature film The Dream Children to be released in 2011.
Alex Broun's screenplay of The Jacaranda Tree was a winner of the Inscription Script awards in 2009. Currently Artistic Director of the largest ten minute play festival in the world, Short and Sweet, Broun recently launched a his website  www.alexbroun.com  where you can read, download & acquire performance rights for many of his plays free of charge.
