5 Questions with Michael Cutrupi

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

michaelcutrupiWhat is your favourite swear word?
A tie between Cunt Face and Fuck Knuckle.

What are you wearing?
Right now… not much in the throws of dressing for the day, I think. A dark green jean and French striped top.

What is love?
“Oh baby don’t hurt me anymore.” Love is understanding, passion and knowing when to shut up.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Penny Plain by Ronnie Burkett in Geelong, Vic. I give it 5 stars; a beautiful one-man marionette show about the end of the world. It was stunning.

Is your new show going to be any good?
Good? No! It will be great. 4 of the funniest men in speedos in a drained swimming pool speaking the words of one of the world’s contemporary theatre masters, Enda Walsh.

Michael Cutrupi is stage manager for Penelope.

megbiggsWhat is your favourite swear word?
I grew up in a family where my mother and her sisters would replace swear words with “jolly” which works rather well.

My costume… double denim!

What is love?
I could go on forever on this topic but put simply: love is unconditional and unwavering.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead at STC. It was fabulous, I’d give it 4.5 🙂

Is your new show going to be any good?
Fame is going to be more than good 😉 We have such a vocally strong fluro and denim-clan cast who will have you dancing in your seat for days after!

Purple. No surprises there.

What is love?
Beats me!

Jerusalem. 5 out of 5. It was as good as theatre gets anywhere.

Fuckstick, cos it’s a weapon of mass destruction.

Mismatched house tracksuit, fluffy hooded robe, and a new pair of black & white sandals I bought last summer, which I’ve never worn before (there’s hope for me yet).

The beginning and the end of everything.

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

dianapopovskaWhat is your favourite swear word?
Fuck.

What are you wearing?
Black high waisted skinny jeans, a black football jersey and black creepers.

I’ve come to realize that love is loving someone without placing conditions or expectations on that love. It is the ultimate state of being present, where you abandon all your blissful dreamers notions and hopes of permanence, but rather, appreciate what you have now.

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead. I give it 3.5 out of 5.

Good is boring. Our show, Penelope, is going to be fantastic!

aaronrobuckWhat is your favourite swear word?
As a child raised by Spongebob Squarepaints and Patrick Star, my favourite phrase in times of frustration is ‘Tartare Sauce’. I also really like Tartare Sauce.

Clothes (this is a fairly big thing for me).

What is love?
Love is a river that drowns the tender reed. At least that’s what some say.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Last show I saw was Lifeforce at King St Theatre by Joanna Weinberg. 4 out of 5.

5 Questions with Nick Curnow

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

nickcurnowWhat is your favourite swear word?
I’m quite partial to “zounds.” But I mostly use the ol’ faithful fuck.

What are you wearing?
A smile. Also jeans, t-shirt from MonsterThreads in Newtown and colourful Bucketfeet sneakers.

What is love?
Love is blindness – I don’t want to see. Won’t you wrap the night around me? Well that’s what U2 said, but I prefer the cover by Cassandra Wilson.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Angels In America: Part 2. Five stars, absolutely. Stellar cast in a wonderfully realised production. Gave me shivers.

Is your new show going to be any good?
It’s going to be brilliant – it’s been a long time coming! I first saw the play performed about 10 years ago and it’s been percolating at the back of my mind ever since. Really happy to finally be bringing it to life with director Alexander Butt.

5 Questions with Craig Annis

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

craigannisWhat is your favourite swear word?
I can’t usually swear in my day job BUT the best non-swear word I ever heard was a guy I knew who said the word ‘crumb’ as an expletive when he got killed in Call Of Duty. Try it, it’s the funniest thing ever!

What are you wearing?
Oh, behave! If I’m being COMPLETELY honest – my gym gear, just got back from a workout. I should have made that sound sexier… I’m wearing whatever Ryan Gosling was wearing in that movie when everyone thought he was at his sexiest. You should totally imagine his body with my head on it.

What is love?
I think this link explains it best… God Bless Haddaway!

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Hmmmmm… are bands included? If so, The Lazy’s were truly FANTASTIC. They’re an Aussie Gen Y rock band who are so FREAKING AWESOME that Eddie McGuire once stopped in a laneway to listen to them and then got them on his radio show the next morning. I’ll be lucky enough to walk on stage to one of their tracks each night!

Is your new show going to be any good?
I can’t answer that! I’ll sound like a wanker… BUT it does have the BEST punchline I’ve ever written in it. When the comedy gods delivered it to me I had to pull over. Which was awkward, because I was on the Harbour Bridge and apparently traffic cops don’t have the same sense of humour. In short, my show’s a heartfelt celebration of life. It’s fun, thoughtful and involves an encore with a puppet that you never thought possible!
