Who is Deborah Mulhall?
Director of HANGMEN at New Theatre.
What would you do differently from what you do now?
Be braver about choices I made or did not make.

What would you do to make a difference in the world?
Change the patriarchy. They have not burned all the witches yet.
Favourite holiday destination and why?
Scotland. It always feels like coming home. There is a “rightness” for me there.
When friends come to town, what attraction would you take them to, and why?
There are two options: ferry rides on the Harbour and the Elysian Rock lookout in Leura in the Blue Mountains.

Recollections of a bleeding heart: A portrait of Paul Keating by Don Watson.
What are you currently listening to?
A Judy Collins vinyl album I found at Reverse Garbage.
Happiness is?
A week in the West end of London.
What does the future hold for you?
I have no idea. I would make a fortune if I did.
