Exit, Pursued By A Bear

Merry Christmas from Kell and Jess! For our Christmas special we ditched the old ways and rather than talk about a particular text we play an assortment of fun new games! Thanks for the yuletide carols Joseph Diskett! Send us your digital greetings @exit_podcast and your Christmas card sentiments to iTunes. Give us a Christmas miracle and get us back on those charts!

This week Kell and Jess tackle Henrik Ibsen, the most staged Playwright after Shakespeare and his banger of a play- A Doll's House. Nora, like Miley is a woman who can't be tamed. Will she break out of her birdcage? Does she go on to Party in the USA? Only time will tell.... Tweet some sass @exit_podcast and some reverence at iTunes. And Thanks Joey D(iskett) for the chart-topping tunez.

This week Kell and Jess continue the tradition of talking utter nonsense, this time with good reason as we discuss one of the most influential plays of the 20th Century- Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. We talk pimps, gravestones and high-vis as we try to ruin this masterpiece while not getting sued by the Beckett estate. Give us a like on facebook and a review on iTunes. We’ve waited long enough, it’s time for validation. And thank you Joseph Diskett for the music and stings.

Not unlike Konstantin’s gift to Nina, Kell and Jess would like to give you The Seagull. It’s rather bleak, dry, dense, depressing, so obviously we talk about tuberculosis, suicide and the importance of a lime tree. Tweet us your love letters @exit_podcast and send your tokens of appreciation to iTunes. Thankyou Mr Joseph Diskett for the depressingly good theme music.

Hello children, it’s story time with your favourite hosts Kell Andersen and Jessica Palfrey and a very special guest- Mr William Pyke. We’ll be talking about lovely things such as child murders, torture and ice-skating, while we bring one of our favourite plays to life; The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh. Tweet us your hate crimes @exit_podcast, send us your love on iTunes. And thank you to the marvellous Joseph Diskett, composer of our theme song and indeed, composer of The Pillowman. What can we say? We know a genius when we hear one.

While Kell gets caught up in nostalgia Jess has nothing for disdain for Broadway’s longest running musical; Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera. Prepare yourself for a lengthy rant about all of Lloyd Webber’s works, while also discussing musical sequels, a mandarin costume and jellicle cats. Beware- there will be singing. Tweet us your disapproval @exit_podcast and send us some love on iTunes. Thankyou kind Sir Joseph Diskett for the amazing composition. Perhaps if Mr Diskett had written Phantom Jess would have enjoyed it.

G’Day mates, we’ve got a beauty of an episode for you as Kell and Jess get round the Australian classic Cosi by Louis Nowra. We chat about mental illness, One Direction and how best to use Weet Bix in a piece of theatre. What a bloody ripper! Please say G’day @exit_podcast and give us a beaut review on iTunes. Thanks to the legend Joey Diskett for giving us a banger of an intro.

This week Dame Palfrey and Sir Andersen talk smack about the original queens of sass in Noel Coward’s Private Lives. Get transported to a world of fine dining and drunken brawls as we chat about the dandy, fisting and breaking records. What a treat! Please send all your love to iTunes in the form of a review, and additional correspondence @exit_podcast Thankyou to our darling Joseph Diskett for the music, absolutely spiffing.

We’re baaaaack! After a rather long dramatic pause Kell and Jess return to the airwaves, not with a trick but with a special treat! For Hallowe’en we talk witches, skate parks and horror movies as we’re discussing Arthur Miller’s classic; The Crucible. This episode is to die for……! Creep over to iTunes and give us a review and tweet us @exit_podcast And a thousand times thankyou to the ghoulishly talented Joseph Diskett who made us a special Hallowe’en theme song!

Kell Andersen and Jessica Palfrey go back to the birthplace of drama, the motherland- Greece and talk about theatre’s most famous mum; Medea. To make it a real treat we have a special guest on the show; multi-talented actress and performer Alexandra Hines. Settle in for a discussion about the ’94 Oscars, a young Greek playwright with big dreams, multiple orgasms and the mating rituals of dolphins. Chuck us a review on iTunes if you haven’t already or tweet us @exit_podcast And thankyou to the wonderful Joseph Diskett for the fully sick beatz.

Why fear Virginia Woolf when people like Kell Andersen and Jessica Palfrey are in the world? This week they tackle Kell’s favorite play, Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. This may be their most offensive idea yet and they wanted to state very clearly, no animals were harmed in the making of this podcast. Tweet us @exit_podcast And thankyou Mr Joseph Diskett for your dulcet tones.

Attend the tale of two insane thespians as they stage Sweeney Todd in the most ridiculous way possible. Kell Andersen and Jessica Palfrey are at it again discussing their love of Sondheim, Jake Gyllenhaal and small performance spaces. (Also discussed are important social issues such as marriage equality and the cost of high beauty standards, but you really have to keep an ear out for that) #auspol Tweet us @exit_podcast And thanks Joseph Diskett for your rousing sound track.

Join Kell Andersen and Jessica Palfrey for an offensive chat about Tennessee Williams’ most famous work, A Streetcar Named Desire. They discover Brando’s acting secret, vivid slices of watermelon, and which SNL star would be perfect for the role of STELLAAAAAAAAAH. Tweet us @exit_podcast And thank you again Joseph Diskett for your gorgeous sound work.

A new podcast where we pick a different play each week and find the worst way to stage it. And where to begin? With Hamlet of course! Settle in for our Pilot Podcast where Kell Andersen (@smell_andersen) and Jessica Palfrey (@jessism_) discuss Shakespeare, incest, inexperienced clowns and the cost of a christmas ham!
