Cameron Woodhead
Cameron Woodhead is a Melbourne-based Australian journalist and critic who is best known for being senior theatre critic at The Age.
Career
Woodhead began writing book reviews for The Age and The Australian at the age of eighteen. In 2004, he became senior theatre critic at The Age, a role he retains to this day.[1]
Woodhead has sometimes been the subject of controversy. Theatre director Julian Meyrick accused him of being driven by 'reactions rather than responses' after he wrote a negative review of one of his plays.[2] He was subsequently defended by Peter Craven in The Sydney Morning Herald.[3] The poet and playwright Alison Croggon wrote that 'if we didn't have a Cameron Woodhead to hate, we'd have to invent him,' and described him mockingly as among the 'grave illuminati' of Melbourne theatre.[4][5]
As a literary critic, he has contributed to magazines such as the Sydney Review of Books, Crikey, Meanjin and The Monthly.[6][7][8] He also writes a weekly books column and has co-hosted ABC Local.[9][10]
