Questions answered by Andrew Pearson-Wright.
Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars
I’ve flyered on the mile in some pretty horrific costumes in the past but this is a much more grounded play so this time I’ll probably just stick to talking very loudly in public spaces about how great the writer/creator/performer Abbey is and hope that has an effect!
Q2: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?
I like to find a wall and mumble to it doing the scenes but also allowing it to go off in tangents – have a moan about things my character would grumble at etc. I have been known to do this on public transport and usually find people giving me a wide berth.
Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?
Oh they’d prefer it to me that’s for sure. I’d be relegated to the box room “why aren’t you as thoughtful/funny/open/intriguing as them?” They’d ask me.
Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?
Probably as “the old guy!” But the play as this beautiful, intimate one night thing – Before Sunrise esk – if you haven’t seen that movie watch it and if you love it (you will) come see this play.
