Talented Mr Stone, The

Right now, everybody wants a piece of Simon Stone. He's only 28, but has already been called Australia's top theatre director. In 2012 he staged five acclaimed sellout productions. His production of Wild Duck won standing ovations at Norway's Ibsen Festival. With three more shows and a feature film next year, he's constantly asked for an opinion from Fassbinder to his favourite Sydney cafe. With the pressure on for Australia's hottest young writer/actor/director, just what is it like to walk in his shoes?
