In this RE-LISTEN episode Elaine chats with actor, writer, director Virginia Gay. We talk about Virginia's Fringe First award winning show Cyrano. We talk talking old stories and bringing them to new audiences without repeating the same story but bringing a fresh perspective to it and how vital that is for us all. We talk about the wonderful tool that is comedy that let's us reach our audience in an authentic and truly moving way. We chat the joy of theatre, words, life, queer love and so, so much more. Cyrano is on now at the Park Theatre London 11th December 2024 -11th January 2025 - Tickets: parktheatre.co.uk/event/cyrano/ CYRANO Virginia Gay's joyous, gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac, packed with music, wit and aching romance, is a love letter to hope; to language and desire; to the irrepressible magic of theatre. A big-hearted, irreverent rom-com, perfect for a feel good Christmas treat. Cyrano is the most interesting person in any room – a wordsmith, a charmer. She works twice as hard and runs twice as fast as the pretty boys, because she's deeply ashamed of something about herself. Enter Roxanne: brilliant and beautiful, with a penchant for poetry and a way with words, just like Cyrano. But Roxanne only has eyes for Yan: hot, manly Yan; all brawn-and-no-brains Yan; who is dumbstruck around Roxanne. Probably shy, right? Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it's not Yan writing these perfect love scenes, it's Cyrano … Virginia Gay “Virginia Gay graduated WAAPA, then spent four years pretending to be a nurse on All Saints, six months pretending to be cop on Savage River (ABC), and then five years on Winners & Losers, where she pretended to know a lot about high finance. That last one, particularly, was a stretch. She won a Sydney Theatre Award for Best Actress for Calamity Jane, starred in the film Judy & Punch which premiered at Sundance, and wrote and directed her first short film Paper Cut, which made Tropfest finals. In 2020 she wrote two new plays: an adaptation of Cyrano for MTC and The Boomkak Panto for Belvoir, which premiered December 2021. She starred in both and also co-directed The Boomkak Panto.” OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk HIPA GUIDES: HIPA GUIDES Equity Toolkit: Link Stellar Quines: Link Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Email – persistentandnasty@gmail.com Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE

Are you in the mood for queer joy and lots of panache? Come, come, listen to this episode about Virginia Gay's Cyrano, an excitingly fun, gender-twisting play that you will love to the moon and back. Virginia talks about why this play resonates so much for queer people, how James McAvoy made her want to write it, and why theatre should always be hot, weird, funny and no more than a 90-minute experience.To keep up-to-date with this beautiful production, follow @cyranolive and @thatsmsgaytoyou on Instagram. @queerlitpodcast is there too.  References:Cyrano de BergeracFried Green TomatoesPark Theatre London @parktheatrelondonJames McAvoyJamie LloydSteve MartinRoxanne (1987)Daryl HannahL'esprit de l'escalierJessica WhitehurstJoseph EvansThe HandmaidenSarah Waters' FingersmithRoxane GayVirginia Gay's Cyrano (Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Uayz56Nzmdekj1rry7rIP   Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:     Virginia's Cyrano is what one might call a gender-swap moment. Can you think of other plays, rewrites, or adaptions that alter the story by changing the protagonist's gender?     We use three different pronouns for Cyrano in the episode. Which one is your favourite and why?     Virginia speaks about several moments of metatheatre. Can you look up what metatheatre means and name one example?     What does ‘l'esprit de l'escalier' mean and how does it relate to writing?     Virginia speaks about the complicity of the audience in problematic stories. Have you ever wanted to apologise to a character?     What playlist (or play) gives you queer joy?

Mickey-Jo recently had the privilege of sitting down to interview VIRGINIA GAY, who has written and stars in a thrilling, queer retelling of CYRANO, which he loved earlier this year at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Check out Mickey-Jo and Virginia's animated conversation about this love letter to the theatre, the exciting possibilities of re-examining classic material, and the implications of a queer interpretation of this protagonist. book tickets to see CYRANO: https://parktheatre.co.uk/event/cyrano/ Comment down below with who you'd love for me to interview next! • About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

This chat I am joined by actress ‘Virginia Gay' from the new season of ‘Dancing With The Stars' on ‘Channel Seven'. Which has its epic finale this Sunday night at 7:00pm! 'Virginia Gay' is an Australian actress, writer and director, mostly known for her work on the Australian TV dramas 'Winners & Losers,' and 'All Saints.' I have been obsessed with her for years and what a treat to see her on this show and do so well. 'Virginia' has stolen the show many times this season including her a perfect-scoring Foxtrot, which judge 'Sharna Burgess' described as “damn sexy". Which I can agree with.  I will find out why 'Virginia' said yes to 'Dancing With The Stars 'and why she has said no to other celebrity shows. 'Virginia' will discuss what she learnt about herself and why 'Dancing' has been so successful this year.  We talk get some fascinating insights on why audiences are draw to community and why shows with heart are the highest rating reality programs on TV. Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘Dancing' which starts on this Sunday night on Channel Seven. Which will be available for catch up on ‘Seven Plus.'  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For Helen Garner's 80th birthday last year, Melbourne's superb Wheeler Centre arranged an evening of pomp and circumstance to celebrate, as part of its Spring Fling festival. The event was MC'd by Chatter darling Virginia Gay, there was an introduction from Miles Franklin winner Jennifer Down (do NOT miss Bodies Of Light if you haven't read it yet) and concluded with a lengthy on-stage conversation between Garner and Crabb. Recognising that this exchange is grade-A Chatter Catnip, The Wheeler Centre - bless their cotton socks - have allowed us to use the audio for Chat 10 Looks 3. Crabb turns 50 today, and thought this steaming hot plate of vintage Garner might be a nice present for Chatters everywhere.

Virginia Gay describes herself as ‘highly sexed chaos'.   Virginia is an Australian actress, writer and director. You'll most likely recognise her voice from the characters she's played in television dramas; Frances James on Winners and Losers or Gabrielle Jaeger on All Saints. More recently Virginia spends her time on stage, often writing and performing her own work. Two years of lockdowns made her realise that there is something special about live theatre that simply cannot be recreated in any other medium.   In this conversation Jamila Rizvi and Virginia Gay discuss Virginia's theatrical childhood, leaving your ego at the door and making your own work.    THE WEEKEND LIST WATCH: Avatar: The Way Of Water LISTEN: The most anticipated movies of the summer – The Drop Podcast LISTEN: Beanie Babies with Jamie Loftus – You're Wrong About Podcast    WATCH: Matilda the Musical   Follow The Briefing: Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAUTwitter: @TheBriefingAUSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Long time listeners will recall that in July 2021 Virginia Gay and Robin Goldsworthy appeared on the podcast in anticipation of the opening night of the Melbourne Theatre Company's production of 'Cyrano'. Unfortunately, thanks to a snap lockdown in Melbourne, that season was cancelled at the eleventh hour.This time, I have waited until the play has actually, definitely opened before I get them on to promote it.Seeing it on opening night was truly one of the most exhilarating nights in the theatre I have ever experienced.If you have the chance, I highly recommend going.https://www.mtc.com.au/plays-and-tickets/whats-on/season-2022/cyrano/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-saturday-quiz.

Are you ready for more delightful chit chat action with another glorious big feeling light seeker? We bloody well hope so, this time around Em is sitting down to talk with actress, writer, director, playwright, composer and all round legend Virginia Gay. If you love a medical drama as much as Em does, then you no doubt first heard of Virginia via her performance as Gabrielle Jaeger on ‘All Saints'. Since that debut she's also appeared as Frances James on ‘Winners and Losers', appeared on stage and screen and even performed her own cabaret show ‘Dirty Pretty Songs' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Naturally Em adores her and as she considers her to be “one of our people” she couldn't wait to sit down and talk all of the things. All of the things included much talk about Em's experience on ‘The Masked Singer'. As a singer Virginia was mad keen to find out how it all works, Em was also wondering why Virginia hasn't taken the plunge and done the show herself. Aside from that we also get amongst a bunch of chat around pantomimes and why they aren't a thing in Australia, Virginia is working hard to change that. We also cover how the pandemic has left them feeling untethered and how they've both learnt so much and have changed for the better as a result of everything we've been through over the last 2 years, there's props for all of us within too. In fact there's so much good chat around those learnings that you'll really connect to and get so much out of. Just prepare yourself for a wide ranging and delightful conversation that's guaranteed to see you come out the other side feeling renewed and also taking home a heap of great advice as well. There's also a healthy supply of potty mouth on display and a surprising amount of whispered moments too, so if you like that sort of thing, added bonus.

It was a big trip for her in more ways than one.Not only did she have to battle through COVID (quite literally, she actually got it), but her time in the states was the first time Virginia had been truly cut off from all the support systems she'd built up down under. Suffice to say, adjusting to that reality wasn't easy. In fact, Virginia will be the first to admit that her adjustment period led to her engaging in the art of “floor sobbing” more than once. But through the trials and tribulations of living alone in America, Virginia's learnt a lot about recognizing her own strengths and the power of being truly vulnerable..Thank you to Uncle Jack Charles for the acknowledgement of country.Hey you!

As pandemic years go, Virginia Gay has had a few pretty big ones. Most people haven't been up to much, but Virginia's version of “the unprecedented time” has seen her write two plays, return to Australia from Los Angeles, move back into (and subsequently out of) her parents house, form a new bond with a furry friend and battle through a bout of COVID-19. It's a wild rap sheet, but don't take my word for it. Let Virginia tell you all about the chaos of the past few years, with a few bits of her best, farm calming advice mixed in.
