Dr. Rob Vs.

About Dr. Rob Vs.

Australian theatre tells its own story so badly. Dr. Rob thinks they can do the job better. That's what this podcast is. A life in the Australian theatre is complicated, exhausting, misrepresented and misunderstood. Dr Rob Vs., presents a close up look at the day to day realities and a birds eye assessment of Australian theatre and the systems that support it. Boy, doesn't that sound like a laugh... A blend of history, critique, comedy and story telling. Recorded live at Theatreworks in St Kilda, Victoria. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   Dr. Rob Vs. Independent theatre

   In this pilot episode of Dr Rob Vs., Dr. Rob introduces the podcast, complains about being a working actor, rewrites a classic Australian play that almost no-one has ever heard of and makes a range of hyperbolic assertions about the end of theatre as we know it. If that's your thing, this is a good time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
