I worked on the play as the Lighting Designer and Operator. The play ran for a full season at The Stables Theatre, Kings Cross Sydney, The Griffin Theatre Company in 2008
"Colder, is a powerful exploration of the events surrounding a child and a man gone missing. Colder won the R.E Ross Trust Award and was short-listed for the 2007 Griffin Award. Inspired by the unexplained disappearance of Simon Knight in 2005, Colder is a unique contemporary Sydney story. A young boy is separated from his mother and goes missing in Disneyland. Adrift in the artificial world of giant mice and noisy parades, nobody can account for what happened in the seven frantic hours before he was found. Years later his life seems normal; stable; happy. But something about that day haunts him. Something about that day remains unresolved. And then, he disappears again"
