Castle Gillian (launched in 2017)
With permission granted by the Estate of Maurice Walsh for the first time since the 1960s for a musical stage adaptation of a story by the famed Irish author, Kevin Purcell (music) and Victor Kazan (lyrics) have teamed up with one of Australia’s most successful and inspiring authors, Steve Vizard (Book & Lyrics) to bring this remarkable and heart-warming love story to the stage.
I was fortunate enough to engage one of my former drawing mentors from my studying time in the us.
An absolute performer he came out of retirement to help me and Castle Gillian out.
Thanks Ed Gazi.

The Man With 100 Faces is the world’s first combined transmedial and live-performance music theatre work. Designed for multi-platform narrative, this dramatic entertainment moves audiences into a blurred fictional-reality world between WWI and present day.
