Katie has just finished directing Rodney Seaborn Award winning play Hell's Canyon, written by Emily Sheehan. After a highly successful season at Old 505 Theatre in Sydney in August, it will open in Melbourne at La Mama in September.
· “If this is an example of 505 Theatre’s ‘warm, strange, exceptional theatre’, then bring it on” (Stage Whispers)
· “[Isabelle Ford and Conor Leach] Together, under the taut direction of Katie Cawthorne, form a strong team” (Stage Whispers)
· There is an enjoyable intensity and vigour to director Katie Cawthorne’s work” (Suzy Goes See)
· Sheehan creates a vivid and authentic world in the lives of these teens, so it comes as no surprise that her writing has already won and been shortlisted for several awards. Director Katie Cawthorne has teased out the complexities of Caitlin and Oscar and their story with great sensitivity and humour, even during the most challenging struggles.” (The Buzz From Sydney)
