So you heard so much from me when I was in the UK and then I came home an vanished again. My apologies. Overseas, I was talking so little and experiencing so much that I just had to share. I came back home and hit the ground running in a pretty big way. Literally an hour after leaving the airport, I was back in the theatre, getting up posters for our current show. Since then we have had one hugely successful season in Perth (including award nominations) and are almost finished our Adelaide Fringe season.
But at any rate, me writing to you about what we've been up to is very dull so I have two videos to show you. The first is an extract from our most recent play, the one that is working its way around Australia this year. This is a script of mine called 'Insomnia Cat Came To Stay', performed by Joanne Sutton, directed by Danny Delahunty, with incredible animation by Thomas Russell, design by Sarah Walker eckyducky, music by Roderick Cairns. It has been getting outstanding reviews and we are so, so proud of it.

The second is... us kind of drunk. Our friend Chrissy, eckyducky and myself, singing 'Amazing Grace' in a warehouse. Note the drunk swaying and the way I give the note by bottling on my cider bottle. Enjoy! We had a lovely time making it.

What? Isn't that what everyone does when drunk?

Some things for you
Hello lovely deviants,
I just thought I'd let you know that the podcast I've been working, Audio Stage, on is up and running. It is very much a theatre podcast but the conversation is very engaging and I'd love you to check it out. Our most recent episode with Angela Conquet is my favourite so far and, if you've ever wondered what I sound like, I'm the one that doesn't have a French or Croatian accent and talking about how great wine is at the top of the episode. You can find us on iTunes or at our website.
Now, some writing for you:
One day, when I was fifteen, I attended an event ran by an organisation which provided legal aid to asylum
The future is just a second away
Two thoughts.
Thought #1
One day in the future, not too far away, we will have GPS dots. Buy them in bulk. Put them on anything worth more than a few dollars. Your phone. Your laptop. Your keys. Your dog.
Log in and find out where they are. Locate your missing keys. Follow your laptop through the streets of Melbourne on the back seat of a thief's car. From your work computer, watch your dog, a little blue dot, leap the fence and wander down the street. As you run to your office door, turn back and see the blue dot meet the line that is Punt Road and stop moving.
You drive, fighting back tears and checking your phone but it doesn't move again.
A little interview in the midst of chaos
Hi all,
Just a quick update.
Just thought some of you might be interested in this. It is a rather nice interview I did for aussietheatre. com on being a playwright, taking criticism and how I'm making a habit of writing roles for myself and then hand-balling them on to other actors. http://aussietheatre.com.au/features/on-writing-fleur-kilpatrick?doing_wp_cron=1375062171.1599540710449218750000 It was a really lovely one to do.
Also, if anyone is in Adelaide this week, two of my plays are being read for five.point.one's 'Reading Sessions'. If you google the company, you'll find the information. The plays are called 'Unicorn' and 'The C
On sexual violence, fear and Slaughterhouse Five
Many of you are not Australian so perhaps you are unaware of the murder of Gillian Meagher last year in my home city but if you are Australian or Irish (Jill's country of origin) you will know every detail of the case. Jill Meagher's murder touched my city deeply. She was walking home after a few drinks with workmates in Brunswick. The distance was very small (barely a few hundred meters) but after leaving her friends she was brutally raped and murdered by Adrian Bayley and her body was dumped in a shallow grave. A week after her disappearance 30 000 people walked down the main street in Brunswick in her memory and to speak out against vi

FFfffffffFffs. It took me so long to watch these. Sooo looooong.
The singing made me tingly. Like, not just "yay happy woo" buzz sensation, but like actual "my skin is feeling a slight breeze that is not actually there" sort of tingly.
Maybe that's what a religious experience is supposed to be like? In my deeply rooted atheism I have concluded that you three make exceptionally pretty mouth noises.
Insomnia Cat clip rocked too, but my mind got so utterly shredded by the harmonies that I nearly forgot that I had watched it.
