Name: Samantha Hill

Character you are playing in Abigail/ 1702? I am playing the old ladies – Margaret Hale and Ann Foster.

Mighty Ducks or The Karate Kid (the original, none of this remake stuff)? Mighty Ducks only because I’ve not seen the Karate Kid.

I’m oddly competitive when it comes to…? …basically everything? I really badly want to make the best displays in my library where I work, and also want to write the most interesting and funniest library update for the school newsletter (that no one probably reads).

If the plot line of Mrs Doubtfire happened to you in real life would you a) find Robin Williams actions touching and endearing or b) take out a restraining order? Assuming I’m the Sally Field role, I would find the idea of an ex of mine dressing up as a woman to fraudulently get close to my children pretty bloody worrying. Definitely restraining order time.

If you could live another era other than now what would be: Such a hard question, I tend to overthink these things a bit much… I’d love to live in the 1920s because the fashion, art and music was pretty cool, but any time in the past is going to annoy me because of regressive rights for women. Can I just have Phryne Fisher’s life in 1920s Melbourne?

What’s been your most memorable personal theatre experience to date? As a performer – playing about ten different characters in a one-woman show Snafu Theatre’s Murder at Warrabah House, but as a theatre-goer, it would definitely be going to see Lipsynch, a nine hour theatre production by Robert LePage. It was epic and mesmerising and such an overwhelming sensory experience.

What will be your biggest challenge heading into Abigail 1702? Definitely working out the accent and the different voices for my two characters.

What are most looking forward heading into the production? I hope I get to wear big, droopy boobs as one of the old ladies.
