About Post Show Drinks

Post Show Drinks – Lea Riley and Sybil Williams sharing a post show chat, over a glass of wine or two, with you.

We don’t aspire to be a great theatrical critical reviewers, but to be your new acquaintances in the foyers of our fabulous theatres – both great and small. Tap into our post-show conversations as we keep in touch with as much theatre as we can manage and record all the magic and mayhem.

Lea spends her days improvising motherhood with two charismatic and energetic small children. A working actress, theatre provides an essential connection with her true creative self; the movers and shakers in the industry; Sybil; and wine.

Sybil has no idea why she really loves theatre, but she really does. With a background in classics, university drama and professional performance, she loves the escape of theatre and the delicious deconstruction that goes along with that post show glass of wine.

We have been fast friends since our independent theatre days in Adelaide. We moved to Sydney at the same time to study performing arts at a crazy tertiary college (that’s a whole other blog), and have seen each other through our many ups and downs ever since.

We have made a promise to continue this tradition until we are old, eccentric, philanthropic dames, drinking wine and saying ‘daaaarling’ a lot.

Cheers!

NOTE: We started this blog on Friday 19 April 2013. Any shows seen before this date are represented by a quick recap on what we can remember of our thoughts on the night.

“Ultimately one has to pity these poor souls who know every secret about writing, directing, designing, producing, and acting but are stuck in those miserable day jobs writing reviews. Will somebody help them, please?” ― David Ives

But it’s not a review. 😉
