This week we speak to the amazing actor, writer and set-dresser Tamzen Hayes about #susananalbumparty, removing yourself from performance, formulaic writing, why we (rightfully) revere actors, the power of storytelling, feelings about day jobs, professional jealousy, thinking visually, self consciousness, approaches to writing, stage isn’t about you, Never Said Motel and very personal performances, the best review ever, the role of a director, wanking on stage, people wanting to see themselves in art, reality tv, how good it is to be into things, Lego Masters, legacy, the difference between fame and impact, Marilyn Monroe, and being ok to have a backup plan.
