Melita Rowston BACKSTAGE

Backstage with Melita Rowston.

The gorgeous and articulate Melita Rowston joins Regina Botros in this episode to dig deep into her life as a theatre maker and the stories behind her work.

Melita is a writer, director, painter and performer. 

Melita's in her happy place writing and directing plays, painting, telling stories about Australia's Shit Tourism, performing poetry, writing about travel (while travelling) and she delights in interviewing interesting people.

​Melita started writing for theatre because she wasn’t seeing the voices of Australian women represented on our stages. She's passionate about giving voice to those left in the shadows, on the sidelines of history. She finds the stories that fall through the cracks are the most compelling. They shed light on the forgotten social narratives of this country and offer us an opportunity to better understand the depth and diversity of our culture, our shared histories and ultimately, ourselves.
