If you had to pitch your show to a stranger, what would you say?
This is a domestic violence survivor story, a light-hearted poke at relationships, our addiction to social media and how growing from a teenager in the ‘90s to turning 40 in 2019 can be anything but straight… forward. All in an hour.
What do you want the audience to take away from your show?
An understanding that there is a different truth for everybody – there is no one-size-fits-all for anything in life. It’s time to open your eyes to see things from a different perspective. There are conversations that need to stay alive in gender, sexuality and domestic violence.
Would you rather be able to read minds or fly? Explain.
I would without a doubt prefer to fly. Think of the savings you would make on plane tickets, not to mention the carbon footprint. Besides, some minds should never be read.
Who absolutely should not come to your show?
While it is up to the discretion of the parental figure(s), I would say young children. I have rated it M15+ due to the fact here is course language, sexual references and realistic images of violence that may not be suitable for younger people.
What do you love about the Melbourne performing arts community?
There is such a diverse range of people. Each of them is beautiful in their own way. It is supportive, accepting, inclusive, warm and welcoming. I have a feeling of belonging the second I walk into a venue or even think about performing in Melbourne. It feels like home.
Truth Bomb!!! will be performed at Gasworks Arts Park from Tuesday September 17 to Thursday September 26 (bar Sunday). Tix start at $25 from the Fringe website.
