Fuck a duck in a bucket.

My nighty, which is a blue singlet.

Kindness.

The Twelfth Dawn at The Old 505 , a beautiful piece that re-inspired me about the magic of theatre.

Is your new show going to be any good?
Fred, my one woman show about cannibalism and ice cream seems to be tickling everyone’s funny bone which is fantastic. It’s a riveting rollercoaster ride both for me and the audience.

5 Questions with Tyran Parke

What is your favourite swear word?
When I direct and actors are have trouble getting involved I ask them to put “fuck” in everywhere – an oldy but a goody. It always adds extra punch and enthusiasm in any state and I use it a lot. Even Rodgers and Hammerstein is better with it – you should see how connected actors get when they sing “Oh What a Fucking Beautiful Morning”!

What are you wearing?
Right now its Sunday morning after a huge week opening of my production of Rent at the Australian Institute of Music and preparing for a HUGE week opening Lifeforce, so I’m taking the opportunity to sit in my dressing gown – it’s like a snuggie but better.

What is love?
Wish I knew! If anyone wants to teach me, drop me a line.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
My production of Rent last night – am I allowed to rate that? Prior to that was Angels in America at Belvoir St which has probably turned me off theatre for a bit – when something is that good, how can anything live up?

Is your new show going to be any good?
Good? It’ll be the best thing since Angels In Fucking America.

Tyran Parke will be appearing in Lifeforce (The Mother Of All Journeys), part of Sydney Fringe 2013.

5 Questions with Keira Daley

What is your favourite swear word?
I’m working on a 90s-themed show right now, so I’d have to say “dickwad”.

What are you wearing?
To find out, call 0055…

What is love?
“Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more…” I dunno, chocolate and tolerance.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
I ignore star ratings because I’ve seen some “5-star” garbage and some “2-star” brilliance. The last show I saw was Squabbalogic’s Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and it was bloody, bloody great.

Is your new show going to be any good?
It’s as good as yo’ mamma… Oh no I didn’t! Read Suzy’s review here

5 Questions with Tade` Adepoyibi

Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions by

tadeWhat is your favourite swear word?
The ‘f’ word. It just works every time.

What are you wearing?
Dark blue denim skinny jeans (bespoke as my legs don’t fit into normal sized ones), a long blue singlet, a blue top over that, and a light pink scarf. And blue earrings (from the kids section) and black ankle boots. Feeling blue, but not in a bad way.

What is love?
Beats me…..Kidding. As a standalone concept I think it is caring about another human being, genuinely caring for that person’s physical, psychosocial and emotional welfare. Between two people I think it’s when you would do anything for a person, feelings that are unconditional and another person’s so called flaws do not change your feelings for them in any way. Oh and it has to reciprocated. And then there is loving yourself which is very important, accepting and celebrating yourself including your flaws, so others can do the same. Love those deep questions!

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
I saw Angels in America Part 1 and 2 at the Theatre Royal. Gave it a 10 out of 5. A brilliant piece.

Is your new show going to be any good?
I think it’s going to be great. There is such a diverse cast and we are all committed to putting on a good show and telling the story of this incredible man Swami Vivekananda – someone with a legacy so potent we are celebrating his life and all he has done 150 years later. I think its the first show of its kind ever to be put on in Sydney. Its not to be missed that’s for sure! Can’t wait!
