Chris’ co adaptations of Thyestes and The Wild Duck (alongside acclaimed Australian director Simon Stone) both won major Australian theatre awards before touring internationally - playing stages at London’s Barbican Centre and international festivals such as Oslo’s Ibsen Festival, Vienna’s Festwochen and Amsterdam’s Holland Festival
His one man comedy show Andre Tonight! won the Melbourne Festival Discovery Award and his podcast comedy series CrossBread, topped the iTunes Charts in Australia, the UK and the USA and was chosen in Apple’s Top Podcasts of 2020
“CrossBread is an absolute joy... Clever writing, surprisingly good songs and great performances”
— The Sydney Morning Herald
“Thyestes is rock'n'roll theatre: confronting, transgressive, uncomfortably hilarious, obscene, horrifying, and desolatingly beautiful”
— The Australian
“Ryan’s multilayered script combines satire, delightfully bad stand-up and even a touch of tragedy… a clever comedy gem”
— Timeout
