Brendan Cowell - Storage
Part of a series on Australia and place, actor Brendan Cowell considers his rootless existence, Australian manhood - and the surprisingly emotional resonance of storage units.
Actor Brendan Cowell says Australia doesn't quite want you to leave...
But leave he does and so begins his unusual interactions with the great love of his life. Storage units.
From Australia to London and back, he discovers that you can learn a lot about yourself from where you leave your stuff.
These essays were recorded in front of an audience at the Sydney Theatre Company. The writers acknowledged the Gadigal people and paid respects to elders past and present.
