Sue graduated from the former University of Natal almost thirty years ago and has been working in the theatre industry ever since.  After starting as an Assistant Stage Manager at Pretoria's State Theatre, she spent several years working for Pieter Toerien Productions, touring the country as a Stage Manager with a variety of shows and gaining valuable experience.  She relocated to the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town and toured both nationally and internationally with the phenomenally successful David Kramer & Taliep Petersen musical, District Six.  This was followed by three years of  working at the Durban Playhouse before a stint at Sun International; first as part of the opening team at the Carousel, and then as Stage Manager for the Sun City Superbowl, a highlight being the first Miss World pageant.

The next few years were spent freelancing as a touring stage manager for several big musicals, namely Oklahoma, Buddy, and The Elvis Las Vegas Extravaganza, interspersed with two short spells at the Johannesburg Civic Theatre and the world-renowned Market Theatre respectively.  In May 2000, Sue returned to Durban to use her skills in the very same theatre where she once performed as a drama student in the opening festival of the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre in 1981!.  She has since completed a Diploma in Business Management and recently returned to her old hobby - writing - when she was invaded by fictional characters with their own stories to tell.

To date she has written almost nothing, but manages to spend an awful lot of her time doing it, and as a result she sometimes forgets to feed her cats.  They remain, however, extremely fat.   Actually, Sue has written two novels; one of which is available for download on http://www.amazon.com/The-Epidaurus-Inheritance-ebook/dp/B006OKD7UA/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1325829871&sr=1-1.  Please buy it!  

Sue has a vast book collection, a smaller DVD collection, and enjoys hanging out at the hectic day-spots and fleshpots of Exclusive Books and Cinema Nouveau.
