David Moody's childhood was scarred by a bully who stole his bubble blower. Ever since then he has been taking out his trauma by yelling at his students while intoxicated. Did you look at him funny? You just failed your unit.
Tim Brain is the technical manager and theatre manager at Murdoch University and a graduate of Murdoch University Theatre and Drama. Tim says he loved returning to directing for “A Wilde Night”, especially with the wonderful words provided by Oscar Wilde.
Allison Snell is a professional designer and artist and graduate of Murdoch University Theatre and Drama who we are most lucky to have enticed back to lend us her years of experience. The set is inspired by nightclubs through the years, from Victorian clubs to speakeasies to cabaret, all filtered through Wilde's years of decay.
Four Years ago Belle completed her English degree at Murdoch University specialising in Theatre. In that time she has acted in eleven full-scale productions as well as taking on many production roles, such as set design, directing, make up, costume design, stage managing and public relations. She also has extensive experience in Film and TV, having worked as a professional actor in Sydney for the past year.
Belle has also been featured in quite a few short films and TV shows including playing a minor role on 'Packed to the Rafters'. She has also performed a lead role in a play that was put on at the Fremantle prison as a main feature of the Fremantle festival of the Arts. One of her professional highlights was acting in a season of 'Tomb Raider Live' playing 'Lara Croft' in association with Sudden Impact Entertainment, a very successful U.S. company, which tours globally.
Belle is so excited to be back at Murdoch directing Oscar's Wilde's/David Moody's masterpiece: 'A Wilde Night' that she now realises the utter Importance of Being Earnest!
Pursuing her long-time passion for all things Oscar, Judy majored in History as well as English and Creative Arts at Murdoch University. She counts Wilde and his friends amongst her closest pals, but admits that keeping company with a host of Victorian apparitions makes life in the present quite be-wilde-ring. "It would be easier," she says, "if they didn't all speak at once."
Simon's theatre and choreography experience spans 25 years across Singapore and Australia. His ultimate passion has always been an amalgamation of creative artistry, all forms of design, stage performance and education/training.
Key productions with Murdoch University over the years include talk show theatre Yum Cha With Madame Yam; Wittgenstein: The Musical; Richard III: The Bollywood Musical; and theatre soap opera Search For Tomorrow. Simon also formed Theatre Kwong in 2007, focusing on Asian interpretations of popular plays, with the most notable production being Manuel Puig's Kiss of the Spiderwoman at The Blue Room in 2007.
Simon has often been regarded as a dynamic, energetic and highly motivated person with a creative and engaging streak. Warm, open and authentic with a focused and practical approach, he now runs his own coaching and consultancy business. Check him out at www.drsimonyam.com!
Lee was first discovered by a film director on a street corner in New York when she was six... she doesn't remember it well. Since then she has learned big words like cognitive and rationalization and uses them whenever she gets the chance to.
Lee started composing music in her teens as well as developing her vocal, acting and dancing abilities. She has been involved in various productions, including the Snow White Conspiracy where she had to wear a pink dress (Lee hates pink as a consequence).
Lee enjoys doing laundry and is particular about which pegs are used when it is hung on the line.
Adam has done stage management with Acting & Production I with David Moody.
Ana's theatre experience before university was confined to the role of spectator. Since her childhood years when she was living in the capital city of Lisbon, Portugal, and as an adult in Australia, theatre plays were an important and constant part of her world, both as a form of entertainment and as a mirror to her emotional life. As part of the audience she often felt like an active participant in what was unfolding on stage, by feeling deeply emotionally moved by it.
In the last three and a half years at Murdoch University, where she is completing a BA in English and Creative Arts, she has had the opportunity to write and create her own pieces of theatre as well as to be part of a production team. In Introduction to Drama she wrote a short monologue based on Shakespeare and acted it as part of a class presentation.
In Acting and Production Ana learned a bit about the technical elements of lighting and sound in stage production. She acted a small part in a short theatre piece and created a soundscape effect of rain and thunder for a theatre production. In Performance and Creative Arts she wrote and produced a multimedia piece based on postmodern performance. She also did some video work that was included in the performances of other students.
In Writing For The Stage Ana wrote a monologue and adapted it to the stage in a multimedia production with short scenes with three student actors who she directed. In Children's Theatre she performed a role that included dance and movement with a large puppet. On the production side she took photos of rehearsals and created a soundscape CD.
Christian's past experience includes Intro to Drama, and LIFE! Also, he invented water.
Clare has performed in Metamorphosis for A&P 1 and in High School productions. She has studied at WAAPA to complete an Adv Diploma in Lighting for Performance. During these studies she was the Lighting Designer for various productions from Drama through Musicals to Architectural Design.

Deborah's past experience includes playing "Hunger" in "Metamorphoses" during Acting and Production I, 2010, and also singing in the shower stall followed by dancing in the room to dry off.
Deborah loves flowers, both the living and faux ones. If she were a cat she would be found staring at flowers all day.
Ellin has been appearing onstage since the age of four. Starting out as a dancer, she has since forayed into the world of theatre and musicals in various productions with amateur and professional groups around Perth.

Hannah never wears matching socks.
Jacqui has been involved in "Metamorphoses", and has studied drama throughout high school. At one point Jacqui had 63 piercings, and has approximately halved that to not scare away the elderly and children.
Jenia has done drama in High school and is currently a member of Murdoch Theatre Company, aside from the theatre course. She was the lead in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Musical". She also sings for Kulcha in Fremantle.
Jenia can bark like a dog, which confuses her Dachshund Riley on a regular basis. The dog also barks ferociously at her when she sings really high tunes... everyone's a critic.
Jesse had previous roles in the Nexus productions "Dust", "The Happiness War", "Ghost Net", and "Arcadia", and had previous professional experience in "Tomb Raider Live".
Jesse is an Aries, and likes long walks on the beach, and hugs.
Kaitlyn has been involved in a few local productions, many at Murdoch over the last few years. She has also had movie set experience on the set of "Two Fists One Heart", and models when she can fit it in.
One day she wants to have a pet snow leopard named Andy. She also speaks orange.

Mallory's previous roles in Nexus theatre include "The Wizard of Oz", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and "The Phoenix and the Fighting Pandas of Yunnan Province".

Mikala has been involved in theatre since highschool. In that time she has worked with the Western Australian Youth Theatre Company, Bell Shakespeare Company and is a founding member of Renegade Theatre Company. With Renegades Mikala has performed in seven productions (including Oscar Wilde's Salome), the most recent being Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus and Antagony which is in a successful season at the 2010 Adelaide Fringe Festival.
Mikala is currently working on an original production alongside A Wilde Night involving Bouffant clowning- her goal is to eventually do a handstand!
Sarah's past experience includes Intro to Drama, Children's Theatre, Acting and Production I, Shakespeare, as well as other shows outside uni.
Shibs has been to every continent in the world, except Antarctica.
Tadgh has been acting since he was a little one, from early years of school right up until TEE Drama. He has played many different roles, but a highlight has to be playing the cross-dressing Dame in a version of "Puss In Boots".
Coffee, cigarettes and Guinness are Tadgh's truest, simplest pleasures in the world. He has an actual fear of the number 13. He hopes one day to become a classic, cynical, sarcastic old man who can be excused for his social faux pas, "because he's Granddad".
