Australian composer, musician and actor, Tim Minchin
Tim Minchin looks back over his career, as a comedian, a composer and lyricist for the RSC's Matilda the Musical, his TV drama Upright, and discusses his new album Apart Together.
Tim Minchin, the Australian stage performer with unkempt long hair and black mascara eyes, looks back over his career since his early days trying to scrape a living in Perth and Melbourne.
As he releases his first ever solo album Apart Together at the age of 45, he reflects on his early struggle to make a living through music, the success of his stage performances with a full orchestra, the RSC's Matilda the Musical for which he composed the score and wrote the lyrics, getting burned in Hollywood, writing, directing and starring in his TV drama series Upright, and his unsettling return to his homeland after four years in Los Angeles.
