  • Oscar Brudenall-Jones

    Delightful fellow and frequently gut-bustingly funny performer Oscar Brudenall-Jones joins Playing Favorites tonight! He discusses his bizarre comedic taste, The Death of Stalin, Richard Harris, magpie-ing, grief, and resting places for those we love. A genuinely moving conversation.

  • Emily Oxley

    Emily Oxley, occasional target of japes and fellow Edinburgh theatre proselytizer, hops on Playing Favorites to chat radium, name changes, P.T. Anderson, Matthew Vaughn’s Stardust, Steve McQueen’s Widows, Austen’s Persuasion, Luhrmann’s Gatsby, and when podcasts will (understandably) be made illegal.

  • Jodie Davey

    In Everglade Special - Part 4

    In our fourth & final cast chat with the quartet fronting brand-new extravaganza In Everglade Studio, it's satirical Snow White herself Jodie Davey, a talented and friendly artist playing the talented and extremely unfriendly Skye, a twisted British songstress aiming to model herself after a Southern belle. We discuss what it's like embodying villainous characters - and what it means that Jodie does so so rarely - plus the magic of Spirited Away, how Jodie found her way into such musical talent, and the transformative power of a trip to Tabuk in the Philippines. 

    It's Playing Favorites!

  • Aveev Isaacson

    In Everglade Special - Part 3

    Musical beast from the middle East and Mountview alumni rep Aveev Isaacson rocks into the Playing Favorites chair to discuss extremely offensive Judaism-inflected jokes - and where they come from, films as friendship tests, Patrick Watson's Close to Paradise, how directors tend to fare with Aveev's brand of being "directed," and more. The occasionally crabby and frequently brilliant Aveev plays the occasionally crabby and frequently brilliant session player Baron in the (Aveev-defined) absurdist new play, In Everglade Studio...

  • Hannah Omisore

    In Everglade Special - Part 2

    Our cast-tastic four-part special continues with the delightful and slightly unhinged Hannah Omisore, who plays the delightful and slightly unhinged Matilda in In Everglade Studio! We chat East London locales, getting tricked into enjoying scary movies, and quite a lot of Batman film history. It's another great chat with a great performer tonight on Playing Favorites - enjoy!

  • Laurie Duncan

    In Everglade Special - Part 1

    The return of Playing Favorites is heralded in by four special episodes featuring the stellar cast of a brand new play: In Everglade Studio, premiering 18th June at the Backstage Theatre in Mountview.

    First up it’s the wisecracking matinee idol Laurie Duncan, who plays wisecracking matinee idol Clarke in the play, and brings giggles, wisdom, and lots of knowledge about something called “football teams” to the show. He’s great - enjoy!

  • PF III. Pod of Carnage
    Back for another showdown we have literally all been waiting for, friends-of-the-show Michael Zwiauer and Angus Bhattacharya join us for a third PF Series event. This time, we dive into the 2011 stage-to-screen adaptation and star-studded showcase Carnage, a longtime favorite (at least for two of us). It stars such luminaries as Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, and John C. Reilly, each of whom take the excruciating and hilarious setup and run with it in titilating directions. It's a blast, it's an experience, it's a problematic fave, and it's one of the chief influences on the much-discussed ensemble piece The Arbitrator - which is currently and perpetually streaming on YouTube, and happens to star both Michael and Angus!
    We discuss a hefty conversation's worth of subjects, including: the film's distinctively French cadence, relishing the art of dislike, adults who have forgotten how to be children, when to speak up about hamster treatment, the pros and cons of "spontaneous moralizing," which parts only Al Pacino could have improved, whether or not The Arbitrator is plagiarism or just a hearty homage to this film (which it is), and why the real Carnage is the friends we made along the way.
    It's another PF Series, and it's not to be missed! 
    Lots of love,
    Playing Favorites
