  • Character Profiles
    CHARACTER PROFILES Jemma Rix on playing Elphaba: “Elphaba was born with green skin and because of this she is unfairly treated and judged, even by her own father. This causes her to be very sensitive about her skin colour. She is super intelligent, has a dry sense of humour and has so much care and compassion for everything and everyone in the land of Oz. When Elphaba discovers that what she thought was a quirk is actually a magical talent, she has the opportunity to meet The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz. However, she soon finds out he is creating segregation in the land and she does not want to be a part of it. She is then cast out of society and labelled “The WICKED Witch Of The West”. Even though she was standing up for what is right, the details are twisted so that the Ozians believe she is truly “WICKED”. Glinda is the only friend she ever had and through this friendship they both learn from each other and change for the better. Playing this role is a dream come true. With such a beautiful story and stunning music, I feel very lucky to be part of this amazing show.” Suzie Mathers on playing Galinda/Glinda: Glinda is such a wonderful character to play with so many dimensions. She goes on such a huge journey throughout the show and becomes a better person for the lessons she learns. In the beginning Glinda is confident, forward and self involved. She approaches life the only way she knows how. Privileged and entitled.

Tim Flannery's The Birth of Sydney is a keyhole on Australia's formative history, TIM FLANNERY concentrating on the early days in Sydney, but in the process illuminating parts of Australian history that have been hidden, lost or forgotten. It's also a rollicking tale of a particular city. Here are the stories that made the city of Sydney: the riotous debauchery of the convicts as lightning crackled above, the great Eora leader Bennelong joking with Arthur Phillip moments before the governor was speared, the enigmatic love of William Dawes and Patyegarang inscribed in a forgotten diary, all the brutality, humour and unpredictable tenderness of a frontier city.
