My full-length script THIS ROSE HAS THORNS had its world premiere April 5-7 in Melbourne, Australia, produced by Burwood Student Theatre Company at Deakin University. It’s the eighth full-length script I’ve had produced, and the first produced outside the United States. It was also a sell-out for all four shows.

Finally catching up with all the photos from the world premiere of THIS ROSE HAS THORNS, my first full-length script produced outside the United States. Here are photos from the first read-through back on December 17, 2017 — by students from Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. Director John Jennings provides this description: “The first read through/ picnic with the cast of Dwayne Yancey’s ‘This Rose Has Thorns’ was held last Sunday, where the talented group collaborated together for the first time with the script while fighting over picnic food at the Tim Neville Arboretum.”
