Tom Peasnell and Jon Rowatt have been mates since high school. For at least five years, they’ve been dreaming of opening a bowling alley together. Not the kind you remember from your 10th birthday party, though – something altogether new, and never really seen in Australia.

Mystery Road, Hungry Ghosts and
Retrograde have taken out top gongs in the Equity Ensemble Awards 2021.
The actors who starred in these programs were voted the most outstanding Australian small screen ensembles in their respective categories by the MEAA Equity National Performers’ Committee (NPC).
Equity president Jason Klarwein says: “There’s never been a more important time to celebrate Australian stories and the talented MEAA members who bring them to life. As our industry begins to recover from the last 12 months we must stand together and campaign for more quality local productions like our finalists and winners across every platform”.
