ELIKA ROWELL

When Melbourne Theatre Company’s 2020 program dropped, Benjamin Law’s play – combining real estate, mental health and trauma within family dynamics – was an immediate standout. Three emotive, sensitive topics are comically “braided”, as Law so eloquently explains, into one.

The creator and co-writer of the TV series The Family Law makes his play-writing debut with Torch the Place, about a mother who can’t let go, be it grudges or objects. Law, fabulously photographed for this week’s cover by Nic Walker, says he hopes audiences find comfort in his depiction of delicate topics. ●

FIRST PERSON

“ I am Rhiannon Watt ” … co-captain of St Kilda’s first AFLW team It’s really quite a surreal feeling to be playing for

the Saints in the AFLW this year. St Kilda’s been around for 140-plus years, and they’ve got such a rich culture, so to be part of the inaugural women’s team is something I still struggle to wrap my head around. It’s pretty special.

In 2018, I was drafted to Carlton from the Saints’ VFLW team. Then in the draft last April, I chose to go back to St Kilda in the AFLW. I actually came from a volleyball background – I spent over 10 years with the national team – so I didn’t really even think I was going to be drafted, given my age (Watt is 32) and late start in the sport.

To even be picked up for Carlton was pretty exciting and I just took it as a real learning opportunity. It was really positive but I’m pretty happy to be back at the Saints.

I was always a mad footy fan, a mad Saints supporter. My granddad Bob Watt actually played for St Kilda, my dad was a really good footy player and my uncle, he was part of recruiting for Carlton, Freo, and St Kilda.

I think the first instinct is to always compare the women to the men but I think we forget that they are really different and the guys have been doing this for years and it’s ingrained in them since they were kids.

To think that we have to juggle full-time jobs on the back of trying to be elite performers, it’s pretty hard to put them on the same page. I work at KPMG in resource management. Luckily I’ve got really good colleagues and people around me that are supportive, which helps.

Having two jobs is a bit of a catch-22 because I’m a big advocate in having life skills and a job you can fall back on. But the flipside is wanting to advocate for women’s sport and to be equal.

I’m really confident that in five to 10 years’ time the women’s game will look really different.

I think the cross-coders like me will start to filter out, and we’ll start just getting core footy players come through the program who haven’t had to stop, because they haven’t been told at 13 that they’re not allowed to play with the boys. ● 2020 AFLW \ Season starts February 7.

COVER STORY

I

n a world seemingly swamped by a culture of outrage, celebrated author and TV writer Benjamin Law reckons it’s still all right to lean back and have a good laugh.

It is, after all, the very mechanism he has used to earn a name as one of Australia’s brightest and polarising literary stars.

He says taking the piss is part of our Australian way of life. But Law says doing it properly can serve a purpose.

The man whose personal experiences growing up in a dysfunctional Chinese-Australian family earned him acclaim first for his book and then a television series has now turned his focus to the issue of mental health.

It is a sensitive topic, certainly.

But one Law says he is prepared to wade into.

The 37-year-old suspects learning to find the light in the darkest corners of our lives could just be a platform for change.

He makes his debut as a playwright this February with Torch the Place, a production focused on the life of a hoarder and the dysfunction that comes with it.

Law has worked with The Lady in the Van director Dean Bryant and a cast including Fiona Choi, Diana Lin and Michelle Lim Davidson to bring the poignant comedy to life for the Melbourne Theatre Company.

“I have always been fascinated by compulsive hoarding,” he admits. “It tends to affect people and communities that have been affected by trauma.

“I thought it was an interesting condition that braided all the big concerns and anxieties that Australia is experiencing at the moment – mental health, capitalism gone bad and real estate.

“For anybody who has grown up with the condition or is living with it now, I hope the play gives them a sense of companionship and solidarity.

“I’m not trying to normalise it but remove the stigma and talk about ways to approach it.”

The story delves into the life of a mother who can’t let go of anything – from grudges to household objects – and explores the impact that has on her and her family.

In a nation where 1.2 million people are grappling with the condition, it is set to be a tangible insight for audiences. “I have already had people who have read the script say that this is a

New playwright Benjamin Law picks his battles in the public arena with a shrewd sense of humour.

You gotta laugh, it’s the Law

“I do think we are allowed to laugh in the darkness and that laughter and being entertained and feeling joy can be an act of resistance in itself.”

depiction of their own family or something they have experienced,” Law says. “I don’t think it necessarily offers any solutions. But it lays out the complexities of what the disorder can look like.”

At its core, he hopes the dark comedy might just prove a decent night out at the theatre.

“We are talking about some pretty grim stuff but I hope what I have written is something that people can laugh over, even shriek about.”

Law sees comedy as an important outlet for a society increasingly bound by opinion.

But it is his take on some of Australia’s most divisive issues that has earned him an even wider following. An outspoken LGBTI advocate, Law found himself on the receiving end of fierce criticism during the marriage equality debate.

But no matter the topic, Law seems happy to weather the criticism; perhaps even thriving off it.

“If you do get to a position of prominence, if your

work matters, you should expect to be attacked at some stage,” he says. “The worse thing is if nobody is reacting to your work whatsoever.

“I think because I am gay and because I am Asian-Australian, I’m a minority within a minority.

“But I think my point is as valid as anybody else’s.

“If I am advocating for young transgender people and have powerful people in the media denying they exist, I will use my privilege to stand up for them through my work.”

In a 2016 Quarterly Essay, Moral Panic 101, Law explored the evolution of homophobia in Australia and how bullying of vulnerable youth remained.

Then he famously became a target for trolls and an Australian broadsheet newspaper for his comments targeting MPs over homophobia.

It was the kind of experience that may have prompted any writer to retreat. “It’s important to keep your perspective and maintain good humour because a lot of the time the people attacking you don’t have good spelling or grammar,” he jokes.

He says his decision to block “thousands” of people on social media was merely an opportunity to exercise his “freedom not to listen” and that the occasional tussle with right-wing media personalities kept him “match fit”.

There are no plans, he says, to stop elevating issues that matter but there are just as many that need no longer divide us.

“There are some issues I think that need to be taken more seriously,” Law says.

“On others, yeah, we need to relax.

“I don’t believe we have been swamped by outrage culture and I find it ironic the people who say that are usually political commentators who have spent their entire careers writing a column a day about what they are angry about.

“I do think we are allowed to laugh in the darkness and that laughter and being entertained and feeling joy can be an act of resistance in itself.”

In the meantime, the author is determined to continue pursuing challenging projects.

Last year he was in front of the camera for the two-part documentary series, Waltzing the Dragon, an examination of the history and current environment between China and Australia.

“I feel like every year brings a new project for which I am deeply unqualified,” Law says. “I don’t think I am necessarily that ambitious … I just can’t stand being bored.

“If it’s fun and interesting, I’m up for it.” ● TORCH THE PLACE \ February 8 to March 21, Arts

I urge you to cut out our first restaurant round up of 2020, stick it on the fridge for next month, and instead visit venues participating in #RestaurantsForRelief and #FebFireFund. The first is a social media hashtag used by hospitality venues fundraising for bushfire relief-related charities. #FebFireFund was set up by a group of well-known restaurateurs to encourage venues to fundraise in February.

Classic gets a Tarantino twist T H E R E VI E W

eah Purcell has been enthralled by Henry Lawson’s classic tale for most of her life. The actor, director and writer recalls how her mum would read her The Drover’s Wife (all nine pages of it) when she was a kid.

The story of a woman’s fight for survival on the land clearly had an impact on Purcell. She has reimagined it for stage, a soon-to-be-released film and, now, this confronting book.

Molly Johnson’s life is one constant struggle. Her husband, Joe, is often away droving livestock, leaving Molly to raise their four young children on a remote homestead.

She’s also heavily pregnant with child number five, and some days Molly finds it just too overwhelming.

“Bein’ closed indoors, with only walls to look at,

screamin’ restless children bickerin’ and fightin’.

Nowhere for my thoughts to escape to.”

Molly’s daily drudgery is broken by arrival of an unexpected visitor in the form of Aboriginal man, Yadaka. Bleeding and desperate, Yadaka is on the run from colonial authorities with few places to hide. After her initial shock subsides, Molly lets him stay and the two slowly, warily get to know each other.

From here, Purcell gives this piece of classic

It’s a tried and tested formula: take a lovely if perhaps too cosy Federation home, open it up out the back with a contemporary renovation, and create the best of both worlds. It just makes sense – you still get the period charm down the front, while there’s far more in the way of light and space available for the common areas out the back.

The design of this house is a compelling riff on the formula, and this not exactly your standard Federation renovation.

In particular, the folks at Ardent Architects have cleverly deployed a striking abundance of glass at the back of the property, combining it with high ceilings to create a spacious, light-filled living area which is undoubtedly the house’s centrepiece.

This open living space overlooks the north-facing garden and is well-suited to entertaining, with the kitchen featuring a large custom island and walk-in pantry. If you want to take the party outside, the covered rear verandah also has its own barbecue. There’s a shed out the back too, providing a bit of extra storage.

Back inside, on the other side of the centrepiece room to the kitchen, you’ll find the living area, with a unit for the TV. You can both prepare meals and keep an eye on the kids’ homework thanks to the adjacent study nook with desk.

You’ll find the laundry, bathroom and three of the four carpeted bedrooms in the middle of the house. The bathroom has a bath, and the bedrooms all come with builtin wardrobes.

Up the front of the house, the main bedroom has an en suite, and overlooks the front verandah. A well-kept

The Architects Choice

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
