STAGES SPOTLIGHT - CONVERSATIONS REVISITED; JONATHAN BIGGINS - from February 21, 2019

STAGES with Peter Eyers

As we draw towards the end of our 6th Season and chalk up 440+ episodes, it’s time we reach into the archive to feature conversations and creatives previously featured on STAGES. We spotlight such episodes, in case you missed them first time ‘round - or so you can simply savour a second listen.
The STAGES podcast opens an essential doorway to access precious oral histories from the people who were, and are, on and around our stages. Conversations with Creatives about Craft and Career!
In this return episode, we spotlight a conversation with Jonathan Biggins from February 2019.
Jonathan Biggins loathes all forms of social media. When I invited him onto STAGES, he told me he’d never listened to a podcast! So, I was thrilled to introduce him to the form.
Mr Biggins is charming, and armed with a wit we relish and crave. He is one of the creators and performers of the Wharf Revue – a popular entertainment that has demanded a date on the calendar annually.
Well, it’s that time of the year once again, when the silliness and satire takes centre stage, in a season at Sydney’s Seymour Centre. This year’s offering, The Wharf Revue: Pride in Prejudice, has been written by the team we adore - Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phil Scott (incidentally, who all have been featured on the podcast and can be found in the STAGES archive!).
The cast consists of Mr Biggins, Mr Forsythe, Mandy Bishop, David Whitney and Andrew Worboys. Bookings at seymourcentre.com. From November 8th.
The STAGES podcast is available to access and subscribe from Spotify and Apple podcasts. Or from wherever you access your favourite podcasts. A conversation with creatives about craft and career. Follow socials on instagram (stagespodcast) and facebook (Stages).www.stagespodcast.com.au
