  Episode #12

  Fathers and Suns with Robin Goldsworthy, Anthony Gooley and Tom Stokes

  Aug 14, 202650 minS7

  One of the best films ever made had one of the most problematic pieces of special effects. A clunky, robotic shark which broke down more often than it worked. But thank god it did - otherwise we wouldn't have the piece of theatre that is: The Shark is Broken. On this episode, the three stars of the Australian production of The Shark is Broken test their wits against the quiz. Get you tickets to The Shark is Broken here: https://sharkisbroken.com.au/ This podcast is made on the land belonging to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and acknowledge their traditions of sharing knowledge and stories for millennia on this land.

  Episode #10

  Come You Spirits with Josephine and Charles Mayer

  May 15, 202647 minS7

  Two actors, both alike in intellect, in fair zoom meeting where we lay our quiz. That’s right my friends, we’ve gone full Shakespeare for this one because this episode's guests, Charles and Josephine Mayer, live and breathe the Bard. Their theatre company - which is named after a quote from the Scottish Play "Come You Spirits" - has for the last few years been producing exclusively the works of William Shakespeare in some wild surrounds - including on board a tall ship sailing on Sydney Harbour, the sands of a riverbank and atop a Full Scale Granite Replica of Stonehenge in Western Australia. It seems almost pedestrian that they’re about to perform their pared back Romeo and Juliet in an actual theatre!
