It is with deep sadness that we at O'Punksky's Theatre say goodbye to one if our finest actors and co creators Jaime Robertson.
Jaime was a true gentleman and friend we first met on the steps of the front door outside the Crossroads Theatre in Forbes St, Darlinghurst. (now a part of S.C.E.G.S).
We auditioned together that day for Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme by Frank McGuinness directed by Maeliosa Stafford.
Jaime and I read for Maeliosa and he cast us as scene partners - two young Protestant recruits from Ulster.
We died together as Ulstermen going over the top for King and Country at dawn on the first day of the battle of the Somme.
Today a part me has died as you go over the top alone on a new journey, I'm sure Amanda Shillabeer - pictured here in your arms - will be there to meet you.
God bless and Chookas Jaime Robertson.
