Amy’s Tattoo

Alison Mann

Alison is a Hobart playwright who has been working in our Cowshed plays and playwrights development program working on her new play Amy's Tattoo with nationally renowned playwright Peter Matheson. Alison's play The Surgeon’s Hands was performed by Blue Cow in 2016 and she has numerous creative credits to her name. 

We did our first online play reading so Alison could hear her words off the page. Alison loves working with the hard complicated issues of everyday life and Amy's Tattoo is no exception. This is a work to look out for as Blue Cow continues to work with Alison to get Amy's Tattoo onto the stage.

Jordy Gregg 

Jordy is Blue Cow's Aboriginal Arts Mentee and a young murrie man who has been using lockdown to do some intensive work on his hard hitting testimony about life in Franklin Square, Hobart. Blue Cow is one of many organisations who have supported this script development.

But the heroes of the day besides Jordy are Peter Matheson (dramaturge) and Annette Downs (allround angel) for being just bloody marvellous.
