BROAD does Fringe Fest: interviewing the stars of Echoes

echoes-rachel-and-filipa-in-studio-2-for-fbHere’s the full podcast of Sonja Hammer’s interview with Filipa Bragança and Rachel Smyth. Filipa and Rachel are performingechoes-1 Henry Naylor’s play Echoes at the Melbourne Fringe Festival. You can see it this week in St Kilda from Tuesday September 20th to Sunday September 25th.

 

Echoes tells the story of two British women, born 175 years apart. One, a schoolgirl jihadi; the other, a Victorian blue-stocking. Both travel to the East to build Empires; both meet tragedy in blood-soaked lands. A brutal tale of colonialism and the rhyme of history. A timely drama written by lead Spitting Image writer Henry Naylor which received eleven 4 or 5-star reviews in its debut season.”

 

Rachel and Filipa talk about the research they put into their roles, the influence of feminism in theater, the history of women’s oppression and marginalisation and the parallels we see today.
