Graeme Brosnan is an Australian company director, investigator and writer. Career Graeme graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) where he majored in writing, directing and theatre production. He proudly boasts of having wasted more time and spent more of the best years of his life on this lost cause than any man alive (see below). In the 1980s Graeme worked as an Editor with the Australian Caption Centre where he was responsible for editorial control of their closed caption programs. He then embarked on a complete change of career and was hired to interview witnesses for a legal services company. Commissioned by law firms and major insurance companies to prepare and write reports on forensic investigations Graeme started his own company, Brosnans Investigation Services which was tremendously successful and he continues his involvement with the company to this day. In 2003, Graeme co-founded the publishing company, This is My Story, which specialised in the production of Australian biographies. It was later incorporated into AKA Publishing. in 2008. While at NIDA Graeme studied under directors including George Ogilvie (Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Bodyline) and George Whalley (On Our Selection, Harp in the South) and worked on Whalley's Jane Street Theatre production of Waiting for Godot which starred Mel Gibson and Geoffrey Rush. Graeme was assistant director on the Robin Lovejoy production of The Old Country which starred the larger-than-life Robert Morley, as well as George Ogilvie's Sydney Theatre Company production No Names…No Pack Drill starring Noni Hazelhurst and Mel Gibson. He was the artistic director of the Jigsaw Theatre Company (Canberra) and the inaugural Director of the Central West Theatre Group. He has written several plays including The Quest, The Butterflies of Love, and Save Me. His play The Government Investigator had a season at the Q Theatre in Sydney and Conspiracy, a dramatisation of the longest running trial in Australian legal history, was produced at The Rocks Theatre, Sydney. Currently, he is hard at work on a new play, The Cannibals - when a famously reclusive writer discovers that his very private life is to be staged as a play, he hits back and unleashes a firestorm which threatens to tear apart his world.
