Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

sheridanharbridgeWhat is your favourite swear word?
I’ve always been fond of douche rag and cunt wad.

An old faded summer dress, tights for rehearsals, and fluro yellow plastic shoes. It’s as terrible as it sounds.

Sleep ins. Eggs, coffee and sharing a good view.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Yana Alana Between The Cracks. ‘Twas excellent stuff.

5 Questions with Rhys Keir

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

Rhys Keir HeadshotWhat is your favourite swear word?
Is this going to come back to haunt me when I audition for Playschool or run for Mayor? Well… it’s Motherfucker. I’ve always loved the way that word feels to say and it’s the only swear word that my Dad really, really hates. Plus when I’m freestyle rapping, which I do frequently and terribly, it’s a good filler word while I’m trying to think of what to say.

What are you wearing?
No word of a lie… I’m currently in my backyard pool wearing green underpants (please excuse the graphic imagery).

What is love?
Seeing the best of someone and the worst of someone, and choosing both (stole that from a poem).

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
I saw Sport For Jove put on The Crucible at Bella Vista Farm. I’ve been going to that festival every year since it started and it’s one of my favourite parts of the year. An amazing show. 4.5 stars. That deduction of 0.5 stars comes from pure jealously and envy that I wasn’t in it.

Is your new show going to be any good?
I have every reason to think so! It contributes towards a very important discussion and there are some very talented people involved.

5 Questions with Haiha Le

haihaleWhat is your favourite swear word?
I’m not discerning. I love them all, swearing is shitfuckincuntty rad! I started timidly, a late bloomer at 16, but once the floodgates opened I became a veritable gutter mouth.

What are you wearing?
Nothing but the blood of a virgin coconut (organic & cold pressed).

What is love?
A four letter English word worth seven points in scrabble. In Vietnamese it’s Yêu, which sounds like ‘Ewww’ when pronounced in English.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Cyrano de Bergerac at Sydney Theatre Company. I give it 3 gold stickers. Props to the actors though, they get 5 gold stickers.

Is your new show going to be any good?
Hells yeh, hi five!

5 Questions with Shane Bosher

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

shanebosherWhat is your favourite swear word?
There are three that regularly vie for #1 spot: bullcrap, fuckpuppet and cunting. All almost unspeakable.

What are you wearing?
I go for a simple look: black t, classic blue jeans, black Nike trainers. Consider it my contemporary take on the classic 1970s director garb: black skivvy, leather jacket, cigarette.

What is love?
Love is a wonderful predicament which has been destroying and enriching people’s lives since forever. It’s simplicity, it’s courage, it’s vulnerability, it’s difficulty, it’s joy – it is all of the things. Without it, stories would be rubbish and I’d be out of a job.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
A touring version of The Sound Of Music in New Zealand. I left after the Mother Superior had climbed every mountain. A gruelling trip up into the Alps with wobbly vibrato and wobblier sets. 2 stars. Am seeing Tabac Rouge tomorrow, so am holding out all hope for that to restore the faith.

Is your new show going to be any good?
It’s a whole lot of crash bang love. Great play, top notch cast, stellar production team and the Old Fitz as you’ve never seen it before. I reckon so.

5 Questions with Gareth Davies

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

garethdaviesWhat is your favourite swear word?
Swearing is the refuge of thieves and louts, a thinking man with a moderate grasp of the English language needs not swear to display his displeasure. Although the word ‘cunt’ is pleasing to yell out of bus windows.

What are you wearing?
Hopes, dreams, and some loose thai fisherman’s pants.

What is love?
Love, huh? It’s a warm bicycle seat, paella on the barbecue. It’s a short gasp and a long goodbye. Long fingers. Smooth skin. Sticky hearts. Jewels from a dragons trove. It’s smart casual. But what would I know, right? I’m just one more sucker who looks good in a dinner jacket.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
I don’t see shows because I might pick up bad habits, so, I guess my own? Five stars.

Is your new show going to be any good?
Not our problem.

5 Questions with Sonya Kerr

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

sonyakerrWhat is your favourite swear word?
That’s such a hard one! Although I have just discovered a new one, which I am enjoying immensely, ‘cockwomble’. It’s just terribly fun to say, and can be used in a variety of ways! Due to the show I have been using and enjoying the word ‘bally’ too though, and you can put them together. “What a bally cockwomble.”

What are you wearing?
I just got home from rehearsal, so nothing terribly exciting. Blue jeans, black t-shirt, lace ups and black 50’s headscarf.

What is love?
The willingness to accept someone else’s weirdness, put up with their annoying habits and share all the odd things life throws your way, wholeheartedly and joyously!

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Last one I saw was The Motherf**ker With The Hat at Darlinghurst Theatre. Awesome show – 5 stars.

Is your new show going to be any good?
It bally well better be! Honestly, I think we have a lovely cast and a fantastic story to tell, so I think audiences will walk away happy.

charliegarberWhat is your favourite swear word?
Swear words. My favourite. Hmmm. Well, I’ve always liked *&%^*$$@#%Y. But then there’s *&^. I suppose I’d have to go with ).

What are you wearing?
What am I wearing? What am I wearing?! Jesus! You know, I’ve just trawled Facebook for the last ten minutes. The world is a truly sorrowful place. What am I wearing??!! 2014 has been a ragged year of war, lies, paedophilia and greed… Grey Bonds briefs and a blue and white striped Vanishing Elephant T, all piled languorously on a teal linen doona cover.

What is love?
Love is the chill of a demon baby’s breath glimpsed from an antique pram on a frozen park lake.

The last show I saw was Cyrano de Bergerac at STC. I give it five bags of popcorn and five bags of soda.

5 Questions with Candy Royalle

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

candyroyalleWhat is your favourite swear word?
Cunt. But I don’t use it to swear. I use it for what its meant for – simply another name by which we call that part of a woman’s body. CUNT. You should say it right now – let it roll around in your mouth for a second. Nice and slow like. C U N T. See? It’s not that bad is it? In fact, it’s rather nice sounding…

What are you wearing?
Acid wash shorts, boy cut underwear in the colour of black, denim shirt (yes, I love double denim), black lace bra. Oh wait. Do you mean what labels am I wearing this season? Was that too much information?

What is love?
The essence of being human. Our single saving grace. It’s what separates us from the monsters we detest (those reflections we abhor). It’s the action of conscious beings. It is a radical act. It is my meaning of life.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Is This Thing On? at the Belvoir. 3/5 stars.

Is your new show going to be any good?
It’s going to be so good, that if you don’t like it, I’ll give you your money back (after costs).
