Fetch Me A Figleaf!

OMFG! You're going back too far! FMAF was put on because I think Graeme Johnstone couldn't get the rights to DAMES AT SEA, in which I was going to play the Captain. I played the king of the gods instead, a kind of rutting sex fiend. It was in the dead of winter, so we all had to use huge amounts of instant tan. It was a zany show. My big "I Want" song, It's A Hobby, was good, but my bump kept getting caught up in my grind ... "I like sex, I like it's whole construction, but as for seduction, it's a hobby. Many men are handy with a hacksaw, but I have got a knack for ardent wooing." I met my wife Helen Sandercoe in this show. She played Artemis, the huntress (a falcon headdress), but she doesn't seem to be on the list ... you can just see it in the program. We moved to Melbourne in 1977. Still occasionally see David Bell around the traps, Mark Hembrow, Harry Scott ... One of our three daughters is a producer and works with Pauline Walsh's daughter. Our oldest Sarah did a Bachelors of film, but became a geologist in WA, #2 Rebekah (Bek) is a theatre producer and works mainly in Europe and #3 is at the VCA. Just can't keep them out of the family business! Helen is a drama teacher and I still act up.
