Globally acclaimed satirist, composer and performer, Tim Minchin came home to take on the world

hints at the commercial tones; and actor, director and co-writer Kate Mulvany, whom Minchin knows from their formative years back in Perth, and with whom, he says, he has “a huge history of shared grief and shared joy”. “To be in a writing room with Mulvers, trying to beat out these episodes, was a joyous thing,” he declares.

He changes tack across this thought. “I get rather twitchy when I am asked for advice,” he says. “But I do often say that I take everything I am into everything I do. The good and the bad. The fact I am this middle-class, privileged, old, white guy. That I don’t think anyone really wants to hear about my shitty little life. I drag it all along. You need to be authentic. You have to bring everything you’ve been through. And believe that it will do.”He is not feeling too good.

Here in Broome, he was barefoot in paradise. The earth was flat and sandy; the water a wonderful blue. Minchin had no hills before him yet all he felt was weak. He bent over. From a distance, you might have seen a small, muscular man in a knot of tears and rage – and something that looked like hopelessness. If you came closer, he may have told you he was only trying to breathe., but that face in steady close-up doesn’t look like someone that is acting.
