Samuel West - Radio - The Better Half

[updated 2 June]

The Better Half will be shown Monday 25 May at 11.30am on Radio 4. The program page from the BBC website is here.

Reviews

Radio Times (via the British Comedy Guide)
This one-act play by Noel Coward was thought to be lost, but was rediscovered in a collection of plays in the British library in 2007. It's by no means a masterpiece and some of the issues it covers are horribly outdated - a wife-beater shows he still loves his spouse, for he would not hit her if he did not care - but it does make up for this with deliciously wicked one-liners from Alice, the bored wife who wants to escape her loveless marriage. Federay Holmes obviously enjoyed playing Alice, while Samuel West and Lisa Dillon make the perfect worthy-but-dull husband and girlfriend.

The Stage
Noel Coward’s 1922 play was considered too racy for public consumption at the time, and was only rediscovered by researches in the British Library in 2007. Samuel West is David, in an unhappy marriage to Alice (Federay Holmes), who tries to persuade him to have an affair with her best friend Marion (Lisa Dillon). A curio rather than a masterpiece, it nevertheless contains some typical Coward dialogue.

[another review] "...A recently discovered Noel Coward play, The Better Half, written when he was only 22, was an astonishingly mature account of the way a couple connived to kill their marriage. Working from Coward’s unpublished manuscript, Martin Jarvis drew crisp performances from Federay Holmes, Lisa Dillon and Samuel West..."

PNAN is on the lookout for the hottest young and emerging talent (film, design and writing) in NSW to help put out an important message! PLUS SCORE OVER $15,000 in CASH AND PRIZES!

One of the biggest issues in NSW and Australia right now is about young people, drugs and alcohol and the government’s attempts to regulate and control the sales, service and consumption of these substances. Of equal interest is the changing views and opinions on the role of drugs and alcohol in youth culture and the broader Australian culture.

PNAN is about using the creative mediums to have a constructive and open discussion about the place of drugs and alcohol in our lives. We're not for, against or coming from any opinion or point of view but we rather act as a focus point for different opinions, stories and experiences to be heard and expressed.

We understand that the only people who really know what its like to be young, are those who are still living it and that inside everyone is an artist with something unique to say and we’re here to help you rip that out and share it with the world - all the whilst offering a raft of pretty cool prizes to boot!

We’re proudly supported by Metro Screen and NSW Health.

Interview - Zuzi Fort



Two weeks ago, I saw Cyanide at Five at the Bondi Pavilion. Cyanide at Five is a play by Pavel Kohout that was inspired by Tecia Werbowski's novella The Wall Between Us. The production ran from 21 April to 2 May and starred Eva Sitta (Zofia), and Zuzi Fort (Irena). It was also directed by Eva.

Zofia is a very successful writer whose book about the Holocaust has had a tremendous impact on several people. Irena visits her to find out the truth behind Zofia's supposedly fictional story. What begins as an ordinary visit gradually turns into a conflict dealing with Catholicism, Judaism and cultural identity.
The rather weighty subject matter and wordy text were handled by Eva Sitta's nuanced direction, as well as the pacing and the overall tone of the play - in addition to Eva and Zuzi's excellent performances, the play's few moments of extremely dark humour were delivered with subtle irony.


L to R: Zuzi and Eva in Cyanide at Five. (Photo: Adam Sitta)


Since the production closed, I've had the opportunity to ask Zuzi Fort some questions about the play, and her career.

Zuzi is a Sydney-based actor, stunt performer, writer, director and bodybuilder. Screen credits include False Witness, Packed to the Rafters and All Saints; and theatre credits include The Bridesmaid Must Die (Riverside Theatre), Tinsel and Ashes (Carnivale's The Promised Land) and Two Doses of Molière (Belvoir St Theatre). She has a BA in Performing Arts from the University of Western Sydney, and a BA in Communications from the University of Technlogy, Sydney.


Putting on an independent theatre production seems like a very difficult undertaking. What have been some of the challenges you've encountered in Cyanide at Five?

Putting on a play is never easy but an independent production is hard because you have a shoestring budget and therefore you have to wear many hats, that is you don't just act but you help out in any way you can, that involves publicity, flier/poster distribution, costumes, props, etc. Usually you have to search for low cost items or plunder your house. Each performer is usually (after a consultation with the director and/or stage designer) responsible for their own costumes and props. Then trying to find a rehearsal space and time is always an issue since rehearsals are not paid (this being a deferred payment type of production) you have to fit it around your other jobs.


You've described yourself as a Jack of all trades. What projects are in the pipeline at the moment?

I have a number of theatre scripts I would like to stage, am looking at suitable spaces and times now and also thinking of actors who I'd like to work with. I am also working on a film idea and am trying to find a publisher for 2 of my manuscripts. Apart from that I am still involved in stunt work and coaching and of course being a mum [Zuzi has a five year old daughter, Kira].


You and Eva Sitta (co-star and director of Cyanide at Five) previously worked together on Tinsel and Ashes. Was it a conscious decision to work with her again?

This is really Eva's project, she found the play and organised the copyrights, theatre, etc. Then she started looking for actresses to work with and remembered me from Tinsel and Ashes, so she rang my old number to see if I were still living in Sydney. And the rest is history, I went for an audition and ended up getting the role and embarking on a fascinating journey.


The Australian federal government recently proposed an education overhaul. What do you think can be done to improve young people's education regarding the arts?

As for the young people and the arts, it is a passion of mine, I strongly believe audiences have to be reared, children have to be brought up (from a young age) to appreciate, value and enjoy; love the theatre. I believe theatre for schools should be subsidised and all schools (from kindergarten up) should attend productions regularly as part of the curriculum. I hope one day to do that. My dream is to have my own theatre company and a permanent space (which often is the hardest thing to find) and have a repertoire for evening shows as well as school performances during the day, with possible weekend productions for tiny tots and other events (cultural) in between including exhibitions, concerts, readings, etc.


Have you always wanted to pursue a career in the performing arts? Has your family influenced your choice of career at all? (Zuzi's mother Jana Haber is an actor and director)

I've pretty much always wanted to be an actor (well after a brief desire to be a general but when I discovered I'd have to go through all the ranks and take orders I went back to my original choice). Seriously, I have never really thought of any other career, I grew up either on a TV set, or backstage of a theatre. My mum realised that one can often learn more through meeting fascinating people and experiencing life so she often took me out of school and I've attended film festivals, concerts, exhibitions, her interviews and live events. I guess I was hooked. But mum was never what you'd call a stage mother, quite the opposite because she knew how hard and ruthless the industry was. In many ways she tried to dissuade me from pursuing that path, but here I am. Now she's 100% behind me.

So, yes you could say my family has influenced me because it gave me a taste for the performing arts, for all arts. (I've also found out that I have a composer, writer, painter, musician and a theatre director in my family. All unfortunately dead now but I suppose genes will tell.)

Theatre - Time and the Conways

[updated 17 May]



Reviews

The Stage
"...the ever watchable Morahan in a beautifully detailed performance, equally convincing as Kay at 21, full of future hopes, and an elegant if badly bruised 40-year-old hack with time running out.
Key performances also come from Francesca Annis as the maliciously destructive matriarch, Paul Ready as her diffident older son, Mark Dexter portraying the family favourite as a swaggering lout and a fine cameo from Fenella Woolgar as a political idealist who becomes a bitter, disillusioned schoolmistress..."


Telegraph
"...strong performances most notably from Francesca Annis as an apparently loving mother, Hattie Morahan as a young writer who sees glimpses of the future, Fenella Woolgar as a ferocious teacher and Adrian Scarborough as a vicious businessman and husband..."

Financial Times
"...Hattie Morahan and Fenella Woolgar turn in excellent performances..."

Samuel West - Radio - The Better Half

Sam will play David in The Better Half, an adaptation of a Noel Coward play that will be broadcast on Radio 4, Monday 25 May. A page about the production from the British Comedy Guide is here.

From the BBC Press Office:
The Better Half
Bank Holiday Monday 25 May
11.30am-12.00noon BBC RADIO 4

Martin Jarvis directs a recently discovered Noel Coward play, starring Samuel West, Lisa Dillon and Federay Holmes.

In an unusual psychological ploy, an unhappy wife encourages her husband to leave her to pursue a happier connection with her friend. But does her apparent selflessness conceal a hidden agenda?

Written by Coward in 1921 when he was just 22 years old, the play was thought to have been lost until it was discovered among archives in the British Library in 2007.

Originally performed in private in 1922, Coward's play about marital disharmony was never published. The Lord Chamberlain, who then had to licence all plays for public performance, refused to grant it a licence as it was deemed too racy.

Jarvis and the production team worked from copies of Coward's original manuscript, complete with the author's signature and penned changes.

Jarvis said: "We were privy to his thoughts, re-typings, even his crossings-out and inked-in rewrites. It was enormously helpful – we felt he was virtually with us in the studio."

Camera Obscura - 'Best Of'

From Daniel Fry:

Camera Obscura's first incarnation drew some often bizarre, sometimes deep and always entertaining films from across the globe. For our second screening at Serial Space, C.O. will sift through the mountainous piles of cardboard boxes which now crowd its hallway in an attempt to bring you the creme de la creme of experimental and underground film.

MONDAY, 11th MAY, 7:00 PM.
SERIAL SPACE, CHIPPENDALE

This coming Monday C.O. will be rescreening Masaaki Yuasa's 'Mind Game' (2004).

The film never got a release in Australia and is an absolute must see.

For those who want to make an informed decision, here's the ever-reliable Wikipedia article on the film.

The night will be divided into two halves. As well as our feature, we'll be showing a collection of shorts from our brimming collection. C.O. will be screening Paul Robetson's animated head-rush 'Power Kings Four Billion %' and Michael levy's geometric cubes set to John Coltrane's 'Giant Steps' and Tehching Hsieh's 'One Year Performance (1980)' to name a few.
Drinks will be available throughout.

The 'Best Of' is a perfect way to aquaint yourselves with what C.O. is all about, and more importantly is a free, fun night out.

Samuel West - Narration - The Flood

[updated 11 May]

Sam narrated The Flood by Stravinsky at Igorfest: Biblical Works on Wednesday 6 May.

Reviews

Birmingham Post
"...The Flood was first broadcast in 1962 and is a light-hearted and witty re-telling of the Fall of Man, God’s anger and the Noah story.
It opened with a choral Te Deum, performed by the excellent New London Chamber Choir.
The scene was set by the narrator, Samuel West, and the story acted out and sung by the versatile Exaudi consort of soloists..."


Guardian
"...Wednesday's penultimate concert in the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's marathon IgorFest was devoted to rarely heard biblical settings, conducted by Sakari Oramo with fine soloists including baritone Roderick Williams and Samuel West as narrator. These strange, unsettling pieces, hieratic, spiky and raw, show Stravinsky at his most arresting. Threni (1958), a choral setting of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, makes joy out of sparse ritual. A brave, stimulating evening. Where was Radio 3 when you needed it?"

Reviews

Independent
"...David Morrissey also has a short film out this week, Bring Me Your Love, his second as director. It's a sly miniature, based on a short story by Charles Bukowski, about a journalist (Ian Hart) who visits his stricken wife (Saira Todd) in a rural sanatorium. His words are solicitous, but his body language exudes a spirit of duty. A bitter duet on love and betrayal, it holds out great promise for Morrissey's full feature début next year."

Guardian
"...This film [Some Voices, starring Daniel Craig, Kelly Macdonald and David Morrissey] is accompanied by a short, Bring Me Your Love, which David Morrissey directs, and it is a film with a similar theme, dealing with mental illness - but with a short film's emphasis on irony and paradox. Ian Hart is a sucessful, faintly louche newspaper columnist visiting his wife, Saira Todd, in a some kind of residential care. She frenziedly accuses him of sleeping with other women; he gloomily notes that this is the kind of paranoia that got her here in the first place. The end twist clicks into place in a satisfying, if slightly predictable way."

Excerpt from a David Morrissey interview that took place in 2001:
"Tell us about Bring Me Your Love.
I'd read a short story, I loved it and really thought it was a good adaptation and then just got it together and did it really - that was it.
Is there a connection between this and that other feature?
No, what happened was I screened the short and the producer of this job [Sweet Revenge] now picked it up and saw it and offered me this job. The connection was that they saw it and liked it and then came to do this for them."
