Alex writes for television, theatre, audio and fiction. His play Rakali was nominated for Best Theatre at the 2023 Melbourne Fringe, and called “gloriously original” and “deliciously entertaining” by critics after a sold out season. He wrote, directed and acted in seven-part audio drama “Hovering”, produced by Clea Frost and released in November 2023. He writes across many genres, including horror, thriller and comedy, often using an element of magic realism or supernatural to transform an everyday situation into something complex. He brings his experience as a queer person growing up in a small town in Tasmania into his work.
