In May 2017 Margaret created and directed a sell-out production of a new work about food and memory, Breaking Bread which featured a team of 16 writers and actors from the Blue Mountains area. Margaret has staged a second new work, Eating Pomegranates, with a successful season at Wentworth Falls School of Arts in March 2019. The work, which celebrates bodies through all stages of life and death, was developed through a QLab residency at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre and the support of the Blue Mountains Cultural Trust. Margaret lectured in Contextual Studies for the BA in Performing Arts at AIM for ten years and also freelances as a dramaturge and script assessor (principally with the Australian Writers’ Guild.)
