As a playwright Sam has had upwards of ten full-length plays produced, and has

play In Angel Gear won best production at the Victorian Green Room Awards of its year.
His script for Earthbound was the first screenplay to be shortlisted for the Victorian
Premier’s Literary Awards. He has had a much short prose published – both fiction and
non-fiction. An unpublished science-fiction novel, Autopsy Turvy, was shortlisted in the
George Turner Prize for first SF novels in manuscript.
Through the 1980’s and late 1970’s, Sam sang for various bands – principally The Ears

Courthouse in Carlton. ChamberMade Opera will be mounting The Hive: an opera based
