Sam's first theatre project, Socrates Smith's 'An Evening with Borges', opened at the Melbourne Fringe 2023.

In this absurd comedy, would-be literati Socrates Smith is convinced his life script is being written by surrealist writer J. L. Borges. Socrates hosts an event at which 'the greatest author never to win the Nobel Prize' is due to arrive. The only problem for Socrates is that Borges is dead . . . but will he turn up anyway?

The work features absurd wordplay, physical comedy and clever and hilarious props.
