NEW FEATURE: Damon Herriman on the Immediacy of the Live Audience

Star of stage and screen, Damon Herriman, shares his thoughts about the thrill of the live performance and how working with close friends can bring out the best in a densely comedic play.

Known for both his stage and screen roles, Herriman’s been in the Australian entertainment industry since childhood and received his first Logie nomination when he was 11. Chatting about the difference between preparing a role for screen vs the stage, we talked about the raw and constantly evolving nature of live performance.

“With film and TV, the first time you’ve said the lines on camera, it sort of sets it in stone, whereas with theatre; it’s never set in stone until your first performance. And even then, it’s never completely set.”
