Emily Steel’s play Man in a Bag, at Holden Street Theatre from July 18 to August 2, will feature a Flinders staff member and a drama graduate.

Tiffany Lyndall-Knight (associate lecturer in the Flinders Drama Centre) is  co-director with Ben Roberts, and she will also have  a dramatic role. While she has enjoyed a successful stage and screen career in Vancouver (including Battlestar Galactica and Stargate SG-1) and in film and television in South Australia (including Red Dog, ANZAC Girls, and The Babadook), this is Ms Lyndall-Knight’s Adelaide stage debut.

Also among the cast is recent Drama Centre graduate Lochlin Maybury.

The play takes the form of a docu-drama inspired by the mysterious 2010 death of MI6 officer Gareth Williams, whose body was found inside a padlocked bag in his bath tub.  Man in a Bag uses the Williams case as an opportunity to examine identity, truth, and the power of the media to expose a private life to public scrutiny.
