BAD TO THE BONE

The terrifyingly hilarious Jekyll& Hyde rocks Basement Theatre in Auckland next month, so we asked the cast to spill about their wicked ways...

Samuel Austin

“My girlfriend and I are vegetarian, but when her uncle cooks his special piece of beef, I cannot resist. When no-one’s looking, he calls me over quietly and presents me with the goods. I devour it like I’ve never eaten a vege in my life. I feel fantastically sneaky – until I turn around and there’s my girlfriend!”

Susie Berry

“I got drunk once and graffitied the side of a fast food restaurant, but I graffitied my full, legal name in large, swirly writing. Not so much ‘Hyde’ as it is idiotic, but there you go.”

Jonathan Price

“I stole a birthday card from a stranger’s party and gave it to my girlfriend. I’d been too busy – or slack – to get her anything yet. But I did give her a present I bought legitimately from a shop.”

Hayley Sproull

“I used to work in a clothing store. One day, I’d forgotten about a date I had with a handsome barrister, so I swiped a dress from the rack. The next day, I gave the dress a steam and hung it back up on the rack.”

Andrew Paterson

“At my old flat in Wellington, I sat on the edge of the bathtub, broke it and then when my flatmate asked about it, I said it must’ve happened during the earthquake from the night before.”
