BiographyHistory

Dickon (Richard P.) Oxenburgh graduated from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in 1984. For over twenty years he has worked as a writer, teacher, dramaturg and actor. Dickon has collaborated with Andrew Ross on a number of adaptations for the stage: three of Randolph Stow's novels: Tourmaline (1963), The Merry-Go-Round in the Sea (1965) and the forthcoming To The Islands (1958); and the novel The Year of Living Dangerously (1978) by Christopher J. Koch, all produced by the Black Swan Theatre Company and the Festival of Perth (now PIAF). He was the recipient of a grant from Arts Victoria in 2002 for the development of a stage adaptation of Arnold Zable's novel Cafe Scheherazade (2001).
