While there he was part of the company that opened the current home and was a cornerstone of the residential company that worked in the smaller Cottesloe Theatre under Bill Bryden's direction. His most important roles there were Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream and the world premiere of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross where he played Shelley Levene (a role later played on screen by Jack Lemmon) and Malcolm in Alan Ayckbourn's Bedroom Farce, which also played in the West End and on Broadway. He also a created the role of Roote in Harold Pinter's play The Hothouse which premiered in 1980 in a production directed by the playwright.
