Premiering on April 24, his new play Self Esteem is a cracker: a suburban satire which splits the seams of political correctness, returning Australian theater to its Jacobean roots. Then little over a week later, local cinemagoers will get their first glimpse of Cowell the leading man in writer-director Matthew Saville's haunting police drama, Noise, in which he plays a police constable battling...
