Tony Thorogood was born in Woolwich, but emigrated with his family as Ten Pound Poms, washing up in South Australia. Tony's hybrid education was a mixture of school and self-teaching resulting in a law scholarship at the University of Adelaide, which soon turned into studying "revolutions, politics and the new wave of music and theatre". The late seventies and early eighties saw Tony write a number of plays and undertake many lines of employment (all night waiter, painter, junk mail distributor, gardener, labourer) before embarking on an epic world tour that took him through North Africa, the middle east, India, Bangkok... and the heady sights of Stockport. Not to mention coming close to death's door more times than he's had good cider! But it was in North Yorkshire Tony met Susan and they now live together down under running the successful Thorogoods Apple Wine business and writing books together.

Notes: | - | |||||
| Big Red and Daisy Bell are just two normal farm animals, a bull and a cow, before they decide to head for the big smoke and see how the other half lives. At first things arent too bad and city humans swallow their prejudices, even eating at the same restaurants as cattle, and going out with them. But the warmth between humans and cattle does not last. Anthony Thorogood has the tremendous advantage of being able to write fresh and fluent dialogue which makes the play come alive. It is indulgent and funny, with everything from terrible puns about cows to sublime comments on Australians behaviour. | |||||
