'Strong Actor' : Nick Tate
2016
single work
biography
— Appears in: Players : Australian Actors on Stage, Television and Film 2016; 'After more than fifty years as an actor Nick Tate recalls the opening night of Don's Party at the Old Tote Theatre in Sydney on 20 September 1972 as ‘thrilling’ and ‘extraordinary’. Standing on stage at the curtain call alongside Pat Bishop, Wendy Blacklock, John Ewart and the other cast members, Tate felt a sense of pure pride and satisfaction ‘to be involved with an Australian production of that quality… It was a huge landmark in my life’ Tate recalls. The success of the production was gratifying, particularly as he had very nearly given away the chance of playing Don, and had so many misgivings initially. Tate was thirty years of age when he appeared in the Williamsonplay. From that day on he did not question his future.' (Introduction) -

criticism
— Appears in: Metro Magazine , Autumn no. 184 2015; (p. 96-101)'It has been fifty years since the ABC adapted George Johnston's novel 'My brother Jack' for the small screen.
